Genesis 13:5-13

5Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks, herds, and tents.

6But the land was unable to support them as long as they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they could not stay together,

7and there was quarreling between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. (At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land.)

8So Abram said to Lot, “Please, let’s not have quarreling between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, since we are relatives.

9Isn’t the whole land before you? Separate from me: if you go to the left, I will go to the right; if you go to the right, I will go to the left.”

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.)
