¹ И вышелъ Аврамъ изъ Египта, самъ, и жена его, и все, что у него было, и Лотъ съ нимъ, въ полуденный край.

² И былъ Аврамъ очень богатъ скотомъ, и серебромъ, и золотомъ.

³ И продолжалъ онъ переходы свои отъ полуденнаго края до Веѕиля, до мјста, гдј прежде былъ шатеръ его, между Веѕилемъ и между Гаемъ,

⁴ до мјста жертвенника, который онъ создалъ тамъ въ началј; и тамъ призвалъ Аврамъ имя Іеговы.

⁵ И у Лота, который ходилъ съ Аврамомъ, былъ мелкій и крупный скотъ и шатры.

⁶ И земля не позволяла имъ жить вмјстј: поелику богатство ихъ было такъ велико, что они не могли жить вмјстј.

⁷ Между пастухами скота Аврамова и между пастухами скота Лотова произошло несогласіе; притомъ Хананеи и Ферезеи жили тогда въ землј сей.

⁸ И потому Аврамъ сказалъ Лоту: да не будетъ раздора между мною и тобою, и между пастухами моими и пастухами твоими; ибо мы родственники.

⁹ Не вся ли земля предъ тобою? прошу, отдјлись отъ меня. Если ты на лјво, то я на право; а если ты на право, то я на лјво.

¹⁰ Лотъ возвелъ очи свои и увидјлъ равнину Іорданскую, которая прежде, нежели истребилъ Іегова Содомъ и Гоморръ, вся, какъ садъ Іеговы, какъ земля Египетская, орошалась водою даже до Цоара.

¹¹ И избралъ себј Лотъ всю равнину Іорданскую; и двигнулся Лотъ къ востоку. Такъ разлучились они другъ съ другомъ.

¹² Аврамъ сталъ жить на землј Ханаанской: а Лотъ сталъ жить въ городахъ равнины, и доходилъ съ шатрами до Содома.

¹³ Жители же Содомскіе были злы и весьма грјшны предъ Іеговою.

¹⁴ Между тјмъ Авраму, послј того, какъ Лоть отдјлился отъ него, Іегова сказалъ: возведи очи твои, и съ мјста, на которомъ ты теперь, посмотри къ сјверу, и къ югу, и къ востоку, и къ западу.

¹⁵ Ибо всю землю, которую ты видишь, тебј дамъ Я и потомству твоему навсегда,

¹⁶ И дамъ тебј потомство, какъ песокъ земный; если возможно кому счесть песокъ земный, то и потомство твое сочтено будетъ.

¹⁷ Встань, пройди по землј сей въ долготу и въ широту ея: ибо Я тебј дамъ ее.

¹⁸ Итакъ Аврамъ двигнулъ шатеръ, и пошелъ, и поселился у дубравы Мамре, что у Хеврона; и создалъ тамъ жертвенникъ Іеговј.

¹ After these things the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Don't be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward."

² Abram said, "Lord Yahweh, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?"

³ Abram said, "Behold, to me you have given no seed: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir."

⁴ Behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir, but he who will come forth out of your own body will be your heir."

⁵ Yahweh brought him outside, and said, "Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." He said to Abram, "So shall your seed be."

⁶ He believed in Yahweh; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.

⁷ He said to him, "I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it."

⁸ He said, "Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?"

⁹ He said to him, "Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon."

¹⁰ He brought him all of these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn't divide the birds.

¹¹ The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.

¹² When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him.

¹³ He said to Abram, "Know for sure that your seed will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them. They will afflict them four hundred years.

¹⁴ I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth,

¹⁵ but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried in a good old age.

¹⁶ In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full."

¹⁷ It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.

¹⁸ In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

¹⁹ the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,

²⁰ the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,

²¹ the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."
