The key to your question can be found in the Genesis 12th & 13th chapters:In the 12th chapter God commands Abraham to go into the land of Canaan; a land that is inhabited by others; but He (God) promises to give to Abraham if he will go there as commanded too. Upon arriving in the land Abraham builds an altar. Abraham's altar building was for several reasons: 1st the altar symbolizes possession; Abraham could not build an altar in Egypt for God had given Abraham no right to claim possession of Egyptian land; but concerning the land of Canaan God had made this decree to Abraham "Arise; walk through the land in the length of it and in the breath of it; for I will give it unto thee". Abraham built several altars through out Canaan to establish the land as Jehovah's (God's); and not belonging to the pagan god's whose altars filled the land. 2nd the altar being a place of worship and sacrifice; there were no altars built by the pagan inhabitants of the land dedicated to the worship of God. in the New Testament the Bible states "The things which the pagans sacrifice they sacrifice to devils and not to God; you cannot be partaker of the Lord's table (altar) and the table of devils." Abraham could not use an altar dedicated to the worship of pagan gods to worship the true God; he had to build new altars.
