  • 1 So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the Negeb.
  • 2 Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
  • 3 And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
  • 4 to the place where he had made an altar at the first. And there Abram called upon the name of the Lord .
  • 5 And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents,
  • 6 so that the land could not support both of them dwelling together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together,
  • 7 and there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were dwelling in the land.
  • 8 Then Abram said to Lot, "Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, for we are kinsmen.
  • 9 Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right, or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left."
  • 10 And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the Jordan Valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the Lord , like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
  • 11 So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley, and Lot journeyed east. Thus they separated from each other.
  • 12 Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
  • 13 Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the Lord .
  • 14 The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, "Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
  • 15 for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.
  • 16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted.
  • 17 Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you."
  • 18 So Abram moved his tent and came and settled by the oaks of Mamre, which are at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the Lord .
