A:In Genesis 12:8, Abram had pitched his tent to the east of Bethel and built an altar. Later, in verse 13:3, he returned to Bethel and to the sacred altar. So it was Bethel where he built an altar.

In chapter 28, Abraham's grandson Jacob slept in a certain place and dreamed of a ladder going up to heaven then he named that place Bethel, but before then it had been called Luz. On this story, as there was nowhere called Bethel at the time of Abram, he must have built his altar at Luz. The explanation is that the story of Abram was written at a time when there had long been a place called Bethel and the redactor of Genesis overlooked this minor discrepancy.

What scripture does it say abel built an altar?

The Bible doesn't say he built an altar.

It is likely that he built an altar for his offering, but the Scripture doesn't specifically say so.
