Genesis 13:10-18

10Lot looked out and saw that the entire plain of the Jordan as far as Zoar was well watered everywhere like the Lord’s garden and the land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)

11So Lot chose the entire plain of the Jordan for himself. Then Lot journeyed eastward, and they separated from each other.

12Abram lived in the land of Canaan, but Lot lived in the cities on the plain and set up his tent near Sodom.

13(Now the men of Sodom were evil, sinning immensely against the Lord.)

14After Lot had separated from him, the Lord said to Abram, “Look from the place where you are. Look north and south, east and west,

15for I will give you and your offspring forever all the land that you see.

16I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust of the earth, then your offspring could be counted.

17Get up and walk around the land, through its length and width, for I will give it to you.”

18So Abram moved his tent and went to live near the oaks of Mamre at Hebron, where he built an altar to the Lord.
