Genesis 13

13And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. ^2aAnd Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. ³And he went on his journeys from the south even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Hai; ⁴Unto the ^bplace of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the Lord. ⁵And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. ⁶And ^cthe land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together. ⁷And there was ^da strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: ^eand the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land. ⁸And 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 ^f†brethren. ^9gIs not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: ^hif 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. ¹⁰And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all ^hthe plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord ⁱdestroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, ^keven as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto ^lZoar. ¹¹Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. ¹²Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. ¹³But the men of Sodom ^mwere wicked and ⁿsinners before the Lord exceedingly.

¹⁴And 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 ^onorthward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: ¹⁵For all the land which thou seest, ^pto thee will I give it, and ^qto thy seed for ever. ¹⁶And ^rI 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. ¹⁷Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee. ¹⁸Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the ^†plain of Mamre, ^swhich is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the Lord.
