Genesis 13:6-18

6And 1the landH776 could not 2supportH5375 both of them 3while livingH3427 togetherH3164, 4for their possessionsH7399 were so greatH7227 that they wereH3201 not ableH3201 to remainH3427 togetherH3164. 75And there was strifeH7379 betweenH996 the herdsmenH7462 of Abram’sH87 livestockH4735 and the herdsmenH7462 of Lot’sH3876 livestockH4735. Now 6the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522 were livingH3427 in the landH776 atH227 thatH227 timeH227.

87So 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 8vicinityH3603 of the 9JordanH3383, that it was wellH4945 wateredH4945 everywhereH3605--this was beforeH6440 the LordH3068 10destroyedH7843 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017--like 11the gardenH1588 of the LordH3068, 12like the landH776 of EgyptH4714 13goingH935 toward 14ZoarH6820. 11So LotH3876 choseH977 for himself allH3605 the 15vicinityH3603 of the JordanH3383, and LotH3876 journeyedH5265 eastwardH6924. So they separatedH6504 from eachH376 otherH251. 12AbramH87 16settledH3427 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, while LotH3876 17settledH3427 in 18the citiesH5892 of the 19vicinityH3603 of the Jordan, and movedH167 his tentsH167 as farH5704 as SodomH5467. 13Now 20the menH376 of SodomH5467 were 21exceedinglyH3966 wickedH7451 22sinnersH2400 against the LordH3068.

14The LordH3068 saidH559 to AbramH87, afterH310 LotH3876 had separatedH6504 from him, “23NowH4994 raiseH5375 your eyesH5869 and lookH7200 from the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 you are, 24northwardH6828 and southwardH5045, and eastwardH6924 and westwardH3220; 1525for allH3605 the landH776 whichH834 you seeH7200 26I will giveH5414 to you and to your 27descendantsH2233 foreverH5704H5769. 16I will makeH7760 your 28descendantsH2233 29as plentiful as the dustH6083 of the earthH776, soH834 thatH834 ifH518 anyoneH376 canH3201 countH4487 the dustH6083 of the earthH776, then your 30descendantsH2233 could alsoH1571 be countedH4487. 17AriseH6965, 31walkH1980 aboutH1980 in the landH776 through its lengthH753 and widthH7341; for 32I will giveH5414 it to you.” 18Then AbramH87 movedH167 his tentH167 and cameH935 and livedH3427 by the 3334oaksH436 of MamreH4471, whichH834 are in HebronH2275; and thereH8033 he builtH1129 35an altarH4196 to the LordH3068.
