Genesis 13:10-18
10And LotH3876 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and beheldH7200 all the plainH3603 of JordanH3383, that it was well wateredH4945 every where, beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 destroyedH7843 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, even as the gardenH1588 of YhwhH3068, like the landH776 of EgyptH4714, as thou comestH935 unto ZoarH6820. 11Then LotH3876 choseH977 him all the plainH3603 of JordanH3383; and LotH3876 journeyedH5265 eastH6924: and they separated themselvesH6504 the oneH376 from the otherH251. 12AbramH87 dwelledH3427 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and LotH3876 dwelledH3427 in the citiesH5892 of the plainH3603, and pitched his tentH167 towardH5704 SodomH5467. 13But the menH582 of SodomH5467 were wickedH7451 and sinnersH2400 before YhwhH3068 exceedinglyH3966.
14And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto AbramH87, afterH310 that LotH3876 was separatedH6504 from him, Lift upH5375 now thine eyesH5869, and lookH7200 from the placeH4725 where thou art northwardH6828, and southwardH5045, and eastwardH6924, and westwardH3220: 15For all the landH776 which thou seestH7200, to thee will I give itH5414, and to thy seedH2233 forH5704 everH5769. 16And I will makeH7760 thy seedH2233 as the dustH6083 of the earthH776: so thatH834 if a manH376 canH3201 numberH4487 the dustH6083 of the earthH776, then shall thy seedH2233 also be numberedH4487. 17AriseH6965, walkH1980 through the landH776 in the lengthH753 of it and in the breadthH7341 of it; for I will giveH5414 it unto thee. 18Then AbramH87 removed his tentH167, and cameH935 and dweltH3427 in the plainH436 of MamreH4471, which is in HebronH2275, and builtH1129 there an altarH4196 unto YhwhH3068.1
