1 og Abram drog atter med sin Hustru og al sin Ejendom fra Ægypten op til Sydlandet, og Lot drog med ham.

2 Abram var meget rig på kvæghjorde, Sølv og Guld;

3 og han vandrede fra Lejrplads til Lejrplads og nåede fra Sydlandet til Betel, til det Sted, hvor hans Teltlejr havde stået første Gang, mellem Betel og Aj,

4 til det Sted, hvor han forrige Gang havde rejst et Alter; og Abram påkaldte der HE ENs Navn.

5 Og Lot, der drog med Abram, ejede ligeledes Småkvæg, Hornkvæg og Telte.

6 Men Landet formåede ikke at rumme dem, så de kunde bo sammen; thi deres Hjorde var for store til, at de kunde bo sammen.

7 Da opstod der Strid mellem Abrams og Lots Hyrder; det var dengang Kana'anæerne og Perizziterne boede i Landet.

8 Abram sagde derfor til Lot: "Der må ikke være Strid mellem os to eller mellem mine og dine Hyrder, vi er jo Frænder!

9 Ligger ikke hele Landet dig åbent? Skil dig hellere fra mig; vil du til venstre, så går jeg til højre, og vil du til højre, så går jeg til venstre!"

10 Da så Lot sig omkring, og da han så, at hele Jordanegnen (det var før HE EN ødelagde Sodoma og Gomorra) var vandrig som HE ENs Have, som Ægyptens Land, hen ad Zoar til,

11 valgte han sig hele Jordanegnen. Så brød Lot op og drog østerpå, og de skiltes,

12 idet Abram slog sig ned i Kana'ans Land, medens Lot slog sig ned i Jordanegnens Byer og drog med sine Telte fra Sted til Sted helt hen til Sodoma.

13 Men Mændene i Sodoma var ugudelige og store Syndere mod HE EN.

14 Efter at Lot havde skilt sig fra Abram, sagde HE EN til denne: "Løft dit Blik og se dig om der, hvor du står, mod Nord, mod Syd, mod Øst og mod Vest;

15 thi hele det Land, du ser, vil jeg give dig og dit Afkom til evig Tid,

16 og jeg vil gøre dit Afkom som Jordens Støv, så at det lige så lidt skal kunne tælles, som nogen kan tælle Jordens Støv.

17 Drag nu gennem Landet på Kryds og tværs, thi dig giver jeg det!"

18 Så drog Abram fra Sted til Sted med sine Telte og kom til Mamres Lund i Hebron, hvor han slog sig ned og byggede HE EN et Alter.

1535. Genesis 13

1. And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and everything he had, and Lot with him, towards the south.

2. And Abram was very rich in cattle, silver and gold.

3. And he went in accordance with his journeys from the south and even to Bethel, even to the place where his tent had been at the start, between Bethel and Ai,

4. To the place of the altar that he made there in the beginning; and there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.

5. And Lot also who went with Abram had flocks and herds and tents.

6. And the land was unable to bear them, that they might dwell together, for their acquisitions were great, and they could not dwell together.

7. And there was strife between Abram's herdsmen and Lot's herdsmen. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were then dwelling in the land.

8. And Abram said to Lot, Let there not be strife, now, between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are men who are brothers.

9. Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself, now, from me. If you go to the left then I will go to the right, but if you go to the right I will go to the left.

10. And Lot lifted up his eyes, and he saw all the plain of Jordan, that the whole of it was well-watered, before Jehovah destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt as you come to Zoar.

11. And Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan; and Lot travelled from the east, and they were separated, man from his brother.

12. Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

13. And the men (vir) of Sodom were evil and great sinners before Jehovah.

14. And Jehovah said to Abram after Lot had been separated from him, Lift up your eyes, now, and look from the place where you are, towards the north, and towards the south, and towards the east, and towards the west.

15. For all the land which you see I will give to you, and to your seed even for ever.

16. And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth, so that if anyone can number the dust of the earth, so also will your seed be numbered.

17. Arise, walk through the land, the length of it and the breadth of it, for to you will I give it.

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

CONTENTS

The subject in this chapter is the external Man in the Lord which was to be joined to His Internal Man. The external Man is the Human Essence, the Internal the Divine Essence. The former is represented here by Lot, but the latter by Abram.
