Genesis 13

¹ AbramAbram went up out of EgyptEgypt: he, his wifewife, all that he had, and Lot with him, into the SouthSouth.

² AbramAbram was very rich in livestocklivestock, in silversilver, and in goldgold.

³ He went on his journeys from the SouthSouth even to BethelBethel, to the placeplace where his tenttent had been at the beginning, between BethelBethel and AiAi,

⁴ to the placeplace of the altaraltar, which he had made there at the firstthe first. There AbramAbram calledcalled on the namename of YahwehYahweh.

⁵ Lot also, who went with AbramAbram, had flocksflocks, and herdsherds, and tentstents.

⁶ The landland was not able to bearbear them, that they mightmight live together: for their substance was great, so that they could not live together.

⁷ There was a strife between the herdsmen of AbramAbram's livestocklivestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestocklivestock: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the landland at that time.

⁸ AbramAbram saidsaid to Lot, "Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.

⁹ Isn't the whole landland beforebefore you? Please separate yourself from me. If you gogo to the left handleft hand, then I will gogo to the right. Or if you gogo to the right handright hand, then I will gogo to the left."

¹⁰ Lot liftedlifted up his eyeseyes, and sawsaw all the plain of the JordanJordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, beforebefore YahwehYahweh destroyed SodomSodom and GomorrahGomorrah, like the gardengarden of YahwehYahweh, like the landland of EgyptEgypt, as you gogo to ZoarZoar.

¹¹ So Lot chose the Plain of the JordanJordan for himself. Lot traveledtraveled east, and they separated themselves the one from the other.

¹² AbramAbram lived in the land of Canaanland of Canaan, and Lot lived in the citiescities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as SodomSodom.

¹³ Now the men of SodomSodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against YahwehYahweh.

¹⁴ YahwehYahweh saidsaid to AbramAbram, afterafter Lot was separated from him, "Now, liftlift up your eyeseyes, and looklook from the placeplace where you are, northwardnorthward and southwardsouthward and eastward and westward,

¹⁵ for all the landland which you seesee, I will givegive to you, and to your offspring foreverforever.

¹⁶ I will make your offspring as the dustdust of the earthearth, so that if a manman can number the dustdust of the earthearth, then your seedseed may also be numbered.

¹⁷ AriseArise, walkwalk through the landland in its lengthlength and in its breadth; for I will givegive it to you."

¹⁸ AbramAbram moved his tent, and camecame and lived by the oaks of MamreMamre, which are in HebronHebron, and builtbuilt an altaraltar there to YahwehYahweh.
