The first such village Abram would have come to after leaving Bethel and heading west [with Lot having headed “east” of Bethel] was )LWN. Note that Abraham’s grandson at Genesis 46: 14 has this same name: )LWN. That personal name is in honor of the Patriarchs’ favorite place to sojourn in southern Canaan, in the rural paradise of the eastern Aijalon Valley: )LWN [per I Samuel 10: 3].
