Genesis 13:10-18

10Lot raised his eyes and saw all the 1vicinity of the 2Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere--this was before the Lord 3destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah--like 4the garden of the Lord, 5like the land of Egypt 6going toward 7Zoar. 11So Lot chose for himself all the 8vicinity of the Jordan, and Lot journeyed eastward. So they separated from each other. 12Abram 9settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot 10settled in 11the cities of the 12vicinity of the Jordan, and moved his tents as far as Sodom. 13Now 13the men of Sodom were 14exceedingly wicked 15sinners against the Lord.

14The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “16Now raise your eyes and look from the place where you are, 17northward and southward, and eastward and westward; 1518for all the land which you see 19I will give to you and to your 20descendants forever. 16I will make your 21descendants 22as plentiful as the dust of the earth, so that if anyone can count the dust of the earth, then your 23descendants could also be counted. 17Arise, 24walk about in the land through its length and width; for 25I will give it to you.” 18Then Abram moved his tent and came and lived by the 2627oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron; and there he built 28an altar to the Lord.
