Genesis 13
American Standard Version
1And AbramH87 wentH5927 up out of EgyptH4714, he, and his wifeH802, and all that he had, and LotH3876 with him, into the SouthH5045. 2And AbramH87 was veryH3966 rich in cattle, in silverH3701, and in goldH2091. 3And he went on his journeys from the SouthH5045 even to Beth-el, unto the placeH4725 whereH834 his tentH168 had beenH1961 at the beginning, between Beth-el and Ai, 4unto the placeH4725 of the altarH4196, which he had madeH6213 there at the firstH7223: and there AbramH87 calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of Jehovah. 5And LotH3876 alsoH1571, who wentH1980 with AbramH87, had flocksH6629, and herdsH1241, and tentsH168. 6And the landH776 wasH1961 not ableH3201 to bearH5375 them, that they might dwellH3427 togetherH3162: for their substance wasH1961 greatH7227, so that they could not dwellH3427 togetherH3162. 7And there wasH1961 a strifeH7379 between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle: and the CanaaniteH3669 and the PerizziteH6522 dweltH3427 thenH227 in the landH776. 8And AbramH87 saidH559 unto LotH3876, Let there beH1961 no strifeH4808, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we are brethren. 9Is not the whole landH776 before thee? separateH6504 thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left handH3225, then I will goH8041 to the rightH3225; or if thou take the rightH3225 handH3225, then I will goH8041 to the left. 10And LotH3876 liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869, and beheld all the Plain of the JordanH3383, that it was well watered every where, before Jehovah destroyedH7843 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, like the gardenH1588 of Jehovah, like the landH776 of EgyptH4714, as thou goest unto ZoarH6820. 11So LotH3876 choseH977 him all the Plain of the JordanH3383; and LotH3876 journeyed eastH6924: and they separatedH6504 themselves the oneH376 from the other. 12AbramH87 dweltH3427 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and LotH3876 dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of the Plain, and moved his tentH167 as far as SodomH5467. 13Now the menH376 of SodomH5467 were wickedH7451 and sinnersH2400 against Jehovah exceedinglyH3966.
14And Jehovah saidH559 unto AbramH87, after that LotH3876 was separatedH6504 from him, LiftH5375 up now thine eyesH5869, and lookH7200 from the placeH4725 whereH834 thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward: 15for all the landH776 which thou seest, to thee will I giveH5414 it, and to thy seedH2233 for everH5769. 16And I will makeH7760 thy seedH2233 as the dustH6083 of the earthH776: so that if a manH376 can numberH4487 the dustH6083 of the earthH776, then may thy seedH2233 alsoH1571 be numberedH4487. 17AriseH6965, walkH1980 through the landH776 in the lengthH753 of it and in the breadthH7341 of it; for unto thee will I giveH5414 it. 18And AbramH87 moved his tentH167, and cameH935 and dweltH3427 by the oaks of MamreH4471, which are in HebronH2275, and builtH1129 there an altarH4196 unto Jehovah.
