Genesis 13:8-13
81So 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 2vicinityH3603 of the 3JordanH3383, that it was wellH4945 wateredH4945 everywhereH3605--this was beforeH6440 the LordH3068 4destroyedH7843 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017--like 5the gardenH1588 of the LordH3068, 6like the landH776 of EgyptH4714 7goingH935 toward 8ZoarH6820. 11So LotH3876 choseH977 for himself allH3605 the 9vicinityH3603 of the JordanH3383, and LotH3876 journeyedH5265 eastwardH6924. So they separatedH6504 from eachH376 otherH251. 12AbramH87 10settledH3427 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, while LotH3876 11settledH3427 in 12the citiesH5892 of the 13vicinityH3603 of the Jordan, and movedH167 his tentsH167 as farH5704 as SodomH5467. 13Now 14the menH376 of SodomH5467 were 15exceedinglyH3966 wickedH7451 16sinnersH2400 against the LordH3068.
