1
亚伯兰带着他的妻子与罗得，并一切所有的，都从埃及上南地去。
3
他从南地渐渐往伯特利去，到了伯特利和艾的中间，就是从前支搭帐棚的地方，
7
当时，迦南人与比利洗人在那地居住。亚伯兰的牧人和罗得的牧人相争。
8
亚伯兰就对罗得说：你我不可相争，你的牧人和我的牧人也不可相争，因为我们是骨肉(原文作弟兄)。
9
遍地不都在你眼前麽？请你离开我：你向左，我就向右；你向右，我就向左。
10
罗得举目看见约但河的全平原，直到琐珥，都是滋润的，那地在耶和华未灭所多玛、蛾摩拉以先如同耶和华的园子，也像埃及地。
11
於是罗得选择约但河的全平原，往东迁移；他们就彼此分离了。
12
亚伯兰住在迦南地，罗得住在平原的城邑，渐渐挪移帐棚，直到所多玛。
14
罗得离别亚伯兰以後，耶和华对亚伯兰说：从你所在的地方，你举目向东西南北观看；
15
凡你所看见的一切地，我都要赐给你和你的後裔，直到永远。

Here are some excerpts from Swedenborg's "Arcana Coelestia" that help explain the inner meaning of this chapter:
AC 1535. This chapter treats of the external man in the Lord which was to be conjoined with His internal man. The external man is the Human Essence, the internal is the Divine essence. The former is here represented by Lot, but the latter by Abram.
AC 1536. There is here described the state of the external man such as it was in childhood, when first imbued with knowledges (scientifica et cognitiones)--that it thence advanced more and more to conjunction with the internal man (verses 1 to 4).
AC 1537. But that there were still many things in His external man that impeded the conjunction (verses 5 to 7); from which, however, He desired to be separated (verses 8, 9).
AC 1538. That the external man appeared to the Lord such as it is in its beauty when conjoined with the internal; and also such as it is when not conjoined (verses 10 to 13).)
AC 1539. A promise that when the external man was conjoined with the internal, that is, when the Lord‘s Human Essence "as conjoined with His Divine Essence, all power and authority (potestas) should be given to Him (verses 14 to 17). Concerning the Lord’s interior perception (verse 18).
