Genesis 13:3-12

3And he went 1on his journeys from the 2Negev as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, 3between Bethel and Ai, 4to the place of the 4altar which he had made there previously; and there Abram called on the name of the Lord. 5Now 5Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks, herds, and tents. 6And 6the land could not 7support both of them 8while living together, 9for their possessions were so great that they were not able to remain together. 710And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. Now 11the Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land at that time.

812So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no strife between you and me, nor between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are relatives! 9Is the entire land not before you? Please separate from me; if you choose the left, then I will go to the right; or if you choose the right, then I will go to the left.” 10Lot raised his eyes and saw all the 13vicinity of the 14Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere--this was before the Lord 15destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah--like 16the garden of the Lord, 17like the land of Egypt 18going toward 19Zoar. 11So Lot chose for himself all the 20vicinity of the Jordan, and Lot journeyed eastward. So they separated from each other. 12Abram 21settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot 22settled in 23the cities of the 24vicinity of the Jordan, and moved his tents as far as Sodom.
