  • 1 And Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, to the South.
  • 2 Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
  • 3 And he went on his journey from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
  • 4 to the place of the altar which he had made there at first. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
  • 5 And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents.
  • 6 Now the land was not able to sustain them, that they might dwell together, because their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together.
  • 7 And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle. And the Canaanites and the Perizzites dwelt in the land in those days.
  • 8 So Abram said to Lot, “I ask you, let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; because we are brethren.
  • 9 Is not the whole land before you? I ask you, separate yourself from me. If you will take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or, if you depart the right hand, then I will go to the left.”
  • 10 And Lot lifted his eyes and looked upon all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, just like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you come toward Zoar.
  • 11 Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated themselves from one another.
  • 12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent towards Sodom.
  • 13 But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners before the LORD.
  • 14 And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are, northward, southward, eastward, and westward;
  • 15 because, all the land which you see I give to you and your seed forever.
  • 16 And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your seed also could be numbered.
  • 17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and its width, because I give it to you.”
  • 18 Then Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built an altar there to the LORD.
