Genesis 13:5-9

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.
