Genesis:
Chapter 13
1. AND
Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and
Lot with him, into the south.
2. And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
3. And he went on his journeys from the south even to Beth-el, unto the
place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Ha-i;
4. Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first:
and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
5. And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and
tents.
6. And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell
together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell
together.
7. And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the
herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Ca-na-an-ite and the Pe-riz-zite
dwelled then in the land.
8. And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between
me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
9. Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee,
from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right;
or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
10. And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that
it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Go-mor-rah,
even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest
unto Zoar.
11. Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east:
and they separated themselves the one from the other.
12. Abram dwelled in the land of Ca-na-an, and Lot dwelled in the cities
of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13. But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD
exceedingly.
14. And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from 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 forever.
16. And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man
can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
17. Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth
of it; for I will give it unto thee.
18. Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of
Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
