Genesis 13:3-12
3And he wentH1980 1on his journeysH4550 from the 2NegevH5045 as farH5704 as BethelH1008, to the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 his tentH168 had beenH1961 at the beginningH8462, 3betweenH996 BethelH1008 and AiH5857, 4to the placeH4725 of the 4altarH4196 whichH834 he had madeH6213 thereH8033 previouslyH7223; and thereH8033 AbramH87 calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LordH3068. 5Now 5LotH3876, who wentH1980 with AbramH87, alsoH1571 hadH1961 flocksH6629, herdsH1241, and tentsH168. 6And 6the landH776 could not 7supportH5375 both of them 8while livingH3427 togetherH3164, 9for their possessionsH7399 were so greatH7227 that they wereH3201 not ableH3201 to remainH3427 togetherH3164. 710And there was strifeH7379 betweenH996 the herdsmenH7462 of Abram’sH87 livestockH4735 and the herdsmenH7462 of Lot’sH3876 livestockH4735. Now 11the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522 were livingH3427 in the landH776 atH227 thatH227 timeH227.
812So AbramH87 saidH559 to LotH3876, “PleaseH4994 let there be noH408 strifeH4808 betweenH996 you and me, nor betweenH996 my herdsmenH7462 and your herdsmenH7462, for we are relativesH251! 9Is the entireH3605 landH776 not beforeH6440 you? PleaseH4994 separateH6504 from me; ifH518 you choose the leftH8040, then I will goH3231 to the rightH3231; or ifH518 you choose the rightH3225, then I will goH8041 to the leftH8041.” 10LotH3876 raisedH5375 his eyesH5869 and sawH7200 allH3605 the 13vicinityH3603 of the 14JordanH3383, that it was wellH4945 wateredH4945 everywhereH3605--this was beforeH6440 the LordH3068 15destroyedH7843 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017--like 16the gardenH1588 of the LordH3068, 17like the landH776 of EgyptH4714 18goingH935 toward 19ZoarH6820. 11So LotH3876 choseH977 for himself allH3605 the 20vicinityH3603 of the JordanH3383, and LotH3876 journeyedH5265 eastwardH6924. So they separatedH6504 from eachH376 otherH251. 12AbramH87 21settledH3427 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, while LotH3876 22settledH3427 in 23the citiesH5892 of the 24vicinityH3603 of the Jordan, and movedH167 his tentsH167 as farH5704 as SodomH5467.
