Abram/Abraham built four altars. The first was at Sichem (Shechem) on the plain of Moreh (Genesis 12:6-7). The second was between Bethel and Hai (Ai) (Genesis 12:8). The third was on the Plain of Mamre (Genesis 13:18) and the final one was built at Jehovah Jireh, the place that would later become the mount on which Jebus/Jerusalem were built (Genesis 22:9-14).
1. And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him. (Genesis 12:7)
2. And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD. (Genesis 12:8)
3. Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD. (Genesis 13:4)
Then Abram removed [his] tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which [is] in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD. (Genesis 13:18)
4. And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. The last altar of Abram that is documented was on one of the mountains of Moriah, Calvary. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son] Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. (Genesis 22:2) This symbolizes not only the fourth and last altar related to Abram, but it is the last and final altar presented to the world (the number four) in the crucifixion of the Redeemer for the sins of the world. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:17)Â
