17

Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Earthly Sanctuary System

The verse describes Abram building an altar, which is a component of a sanctuary system, but it predates the establishment of the Levitical priesthood, the tabernacle, and the detailed sacrificial system described in the theme definition. Therefore, while an altar is present, the full "Earthly Sanctuary System" as defined is not yet in existence or explicitly supported by this single verse.
