Genesis 13:10-12

10Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan toward Zoar was well watered, like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)

12Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom.
