¹ And Abram went·​·up out·​·of Egypt, he^◦ and his wife, and all that he had^◦, and Lot with him, toward the south^*.

² And Abram was· very ·heavy in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

³ And he went according·​·to^▵ his journeys from the south and even·​·to Bethel, even·​·to the place where his tent was in the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

⁴ to^▵ the place of the altar which he had made there in the beginning^◦; and there Abram called on^◦ the name of Jehovah.

⁵ And Lot also, who went^◦ with^◦ Abram, had^◦ flock and herd, and tents.

⁶ And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together, for their acquisition was great^◦, and they were· not ·able to dwell together.

⁷ And there was strife between the shepherds of the livestock of Abram and the shepherds of the livestock of Lot; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite were then^▵ dwelling in the land.

⁸ And Abram said to^▵ Lot, Let there be no^◦ strife, I pray^◦, between me and thee, and between my shepherds and thy shepherds, for we^◦ men^◦ are brothers.

⁹ Is not all the land before thee? Separate, I pray^◦, from me; if to the left, then I will go·​·to·​·the·​·right; and if to the right, then I will go·​·to·​·the·​·left.

¹⁰ And Lot lifted his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that all of it was well watered^◦, before Jehovah destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like^◦ the garden of Jehovah, like^◦ the land of Egypt coming·​·into Zoar.

¹¹ And Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot journeyed from^* the east; and they were separated, a man^◦ from his brother.

¹² Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched· his ·tent even·​·to Sodom.

¹³ And the men^◦ of Sodom were evil and sinners against^▵ Jehovah exceedingly.

¹⁴ And Jehovah said to^▵ Abram, after that Lot was separated from with him, Lift·​·up now^◦ thine eyes, and look^◦ from the place where^▵ thou^◦ art, northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward^◦.

¹⁵ For all the land which thou^◦ seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed, even·​·to eternity.

¹⁶ And I will set thy seed as the dust of the earth; so that if a man^◦ is·​·able to count the dust of the earth, also shall thy seed be counted.

¹⁷ Arise, walk through the land, to the length of her and to the breadth of her; for to thee will I give her.

¹⁸ And Abram pitched· his ·tent, and came, and dwelt in the oak·​·groves of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built there an altar to Jehovah.
