Genesis 13:8-13

81So 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 2vicinity of the 3Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere--this was before the Lord 4destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah--like 5the garden of the Lord, 6like the land of Egypt 7going toward 8Zoar. 11So Lot chose for himself all the 9vicinity of the Jordan, and Lot journeyed eastward. So they separated from each other. 12Abram 10settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot 11settled in 12the cities of the 13vicinity of the Jordan, and moved his tents as far as Sodom. 13Now 14the men of Sodom were 15exceedingly wicked 16sinners against the Lord.
