1
And Abram[H87] went up[H5927] out of Egypt[H4714], he, and his wife[H802], and all that he had, and Lot[H3876] with him, into the south[H5045].
2
And Abram[H87] was very[H3966]rich[H3513] in cattle[H4735], in silver[H3701], and in gold[H2091].
3
And he went[H3212] on his journeys[H4550] from the south[H5045] even to Bethel[H1008], unto the place[H4725] where his tent[H168] had been[H1961] at the beginning[H8462], between Bethel[H1008] and Hai[H5857];
4
Unto the place[H4725] of the altar[H4196], which he had made[H6213] there at the first[H7223]: and there Abram[H87]called[H7121] on the name[H8034] of the LORD[H3068].
5
And Lot[H3876] also, which went[H1980]with[H854]Abram[H87], had flocks[H6629], and herds[H1241], and tents[H168].
6
And the land[H776] was not able to bear[H5375] them, that they might dwell[H3427]together[H3162]: for their substance[H7399] was great[H7227], so that they could[H3201] not dwell[H3427]together[H3162].
7
And there was a strife[H7379] between the herdmen[H7462] of Abram's cattle[H4735] and the herdmen[H7462] of Lot's cattle[H4735]: and the Canaanite[H3669] and the Perizzite[H6522]dwelled[H3427] then in the land[H776].
8
And Abram[H87]said[H559] unto Lot[H3876], Let there be[H1961]no[H408]strife[H4808], I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen[H7462] and thy herdmen[H7462]; for we[H582]be[H1961]brethren[H251].
9
Is not the whole land[H776] before thee?[H6440] separate thyself[H6504], I pray thee[H6440], from me: if thou wilt take the left[H8041]hand[H8040], then I will go to the right[H3231]; or if thou depart to the right[H3231]hand[H3225], then I will go to the left[H8041].
10
And Lot[H3876] lifted up[H5375] his eyes[H5869], and beheld[H7200] all the plain[H3603] of Jordan[H3383], that it was well watered[H4945] every where, before[H6440] the LORD[H3068]destroyed[H7843]Sodom[H5467] and Gomorrah[H6017], even as the garden[H1588] of the LORD[H3068], like the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], as thou comest[H935] unto Zoar[H6820].
11
Then Lot[H3876]chose[H977] him all the plain[H3603] of Jordan[H3383]; and Lot[H3876]journeyed[H5265]east[H6924]: and they separated themselves[H6504] the one[H376] from the other[H251].
12Abram[H87]dwelled[H3427] in the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667], and Lot[H3876]dwelled[H3427] in the cities[H5892] of the plain[H3603], and pitched his tent[H167]toward[H5704]Sodom[H5467].
13
But the men[H582] of Sodom[H5467] were wicked[H7451] and sinners[H2400] before the LORD[H3068]exceedingly[H3966].
14
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Abram[H87], after[H310] that Lot[H3876] was separated[H6504] from him, Lift up[H5375] now thine eyes[H5869], and look[H7200] from the place[H4725] where thou art northward[H6828], and southward[H5045], and eastward[H6924], and westward[H3220]:
15For[H5704] all the land[H776] which thou seest[H7200], to thee will I give it[H5414], and to thy seed[H2233]for[H5704]ever[H5769].
16
And I will make[H7760] thy seed[H2233] as the dust[H6083] of the earth[H776]: so that[H834] if a man[H376]can[H3201]number[H4487] the dust[H6083] of the earth[H776], then shall thy seed[H2233] also be numbered[H4487].
17Arise[H6965], walk[H1980] through the land[H776] in the length[H753] of it and in the breadth[H7341] of it; for I will give[H5414] it unto thee.
18
Then Abram[H87] removed his tent[H167], and came[H935] and dwelt[H3427] in the plain[H436] of Mamre[H4471], which is in Hebron[H2275], and built[H1129] there an altar[H4196] unto the LORD[H3068].
