Genesis 13:8–9

13:8 Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no quarreling between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are close relatives.19 13:9 Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself now from me. If you go20 to the left, then I’ll go to the right, but if you go to the right, then I’ll go to the left.”

19	tn Heb “men, brothers [are] we.” Here “brothers” describes the closeness of the relationship, but could be misunderstood if taken literally, since Abram was Lot’s uncle.
20	tn The words “you go” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons both times in this verse.
