Genesis 13:5-14

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:
