Genesis 13
- 1And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
- 2And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
- 3And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai.
- 4To the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on the name of the Lord.
- 5And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
- 6And the land was not able to bear them, that they might live together. For their substance was great, so that they could not live together.
- 7And there was a conflict between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived then in the land.
- 8And Abram said to Lot, Let there be no conflict, I pray you, between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen. For we are brothers.
- 9Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself, I pray you, from me. If you will take the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
- 10And Lot looked up and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as you come to Zoar.
- 11Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan, and Lot traveled east. And they separated themselves the one from the other.
- 12Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
- 13But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord greatly.
- 14And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you are northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward.
- 15For all the land which you see, to you will I give it, and to your seed for ever.
- 16And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall your seed also be numbered.
- 17Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the width of it, for I will give it to you.
- 18Then Abram removed his tent, and came and lived in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar to the Lord.
