Genesis 13:10-18

10LotH3876 raisedH5375 his eyesH5869 and sawH7200 allH3605 the 1vicinityH3603 of the 2JordanH3383, that it was wellH4945 wateredH4945 everywhereH3605--this was beforeH6440 the LordH3068 3destroyedH7843 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017--like 4the gardenH1588 of the LordH3068, 5like the landH776 of EgyptH4714 6goingH935 toward 7ZoarH6820. 11So LotH3876 choseH977 for himself allH3605 the 8vicinityH3603 of the JordanH3383, and LotH3876 journeyedH5265 eastwardH6924. So they separatedH6504 from eachH376 otherH251. 12AbramH87 9settledH3427 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, while LotH3876 10settledH3427 in 11the citiesH5892 of the 12vicinityH3603 of the Jordan, and movedH167 his tentsH167 as farH5704 as SodomH5467. 13Now 13the menH376 of SodomH5467 were 14exceedinglyH3966 wickedH7451 15sinnersH2400 against the LordH3068.

14The LordH3068 saidH559 to AbramH87, afterH310 LotH3876 had separatedH6504 from him, “16NowH4994 raiseH5375 your eyesH5869 and lookH7200 from the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 you are, 17northwardH6828 and southwardH5045, and eastwardH6924 and westwardH3220; 1518for allH3605 the landH776 whichH834 you seeH7200 19I will giveH5414 to you and to your 20descendantsH2233 foreverH5704H5769. 16I will makeH7760 your 21descendantsH2233 22as plentiful as the dustH6083 of the earthH776, soH834 thatH834 ifH518 anyoneH376 canH3201 countH4487 the dustH6083 of the earthH776, then your 23descendantsH2233 could alsoH1571 be countedH4487. 17AriseH6965, 24walkH1980 aboutH1980 in the landH776 through its lengthH753 and widthH7341; for 25I will giveH5414 it to you.” 18Then AbramH87 movedH167 his tentH167 and cameH935 and livedH3427 by the 2627oaksH436 of MamreH4471, whichH834 are in HebronH2275; and thereH8033 he builtH1129 28an altarH4196 to the LordH3068.
