Genesis 13:5–11

⁵But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and herds of beasts, and tents.

⁶Neither was the land able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, and they could not dwell together.

⁷Whereupon also there arose a strife between the herdsmen of Abram and of Lot. And at that time the Chanaanite and the Pherezite dwelled in that country.

⁸Abram therefore said to Lot: Let there be no quarrel, I beseech thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen: for we are brethren.

⁹Behold the whole land is before thee: depart from me, I pray thee: if thou wilt go to the left hand, I will take the right: if thou choose the right hand, I will pass to the left.

¹⁰And Lot lifting up his eyes, saw all the country about the Jordan, which was watered throughout, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, as the paradise of the Lord, and like Egypt as one comes to Segor.

¹¹And Lot chose to himself the country about the Jordan, and he departed from the east: and they were separated one brother from the other.
