Genesis 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 Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been * at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
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 Canaanite and the Perizzite 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 Gomorrah, 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 Canaan, 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 for ever.
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.
