Genesis 13:5-9

5Now LotH3876, who was travelingH1980 withH854 AbramH87, alsoH1571 hadH1961 flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 and tentsH168. 6But the landH776 was unableH3808 to supportH5375 both of themH853 while they stayedH3427 togetherH3162, forH3588 they hadH1961 so manyH7227 possessionsH7399 that they were unableH3201H3808 to coexistH3427H3162. 7And there wasH1961 discordH7379 betweenH996 the herdsmenH7462 of AbramH87H996H4735 and the herdsmenH7462 of LotH3876H4735. At that timeH227 the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522 were also livingH3427 in the landH776.

8So AbramH87 saidH559 toH413 LotH3876, “PleaseH4994 let there beH1961 noH408 contentionH4808 between you and meH996, or betweenH996 your herdsmenH7462H996 and my herdsmenH7462. After allH3588H582, weH587 are kinsmenH251. 9Is notH3808 the wholeH3605 landH776 before youH6440? NowH4994 separate yourselfH6504 from meH5921. IfH518 you go to the leftH8040, I will go to the rightH3231; ifH518 you go to the rightH3225, I will go to the leftH8041.”
