Genesis 13

Revised Version 1895

1And AbramH87 wentH5927 upH5927 outH3605 of EgyptH4714, he, and his wifeH802, and allH3605 that he had, and LotH3876 with him, intoH4714 the SouthH5045. 2And AbramH87 was veryH3966 richH3513 in cattleH4735, in silverH3701, and in goldH2091. 3And he wentH1961 on his journeysH4550 from the SouthH5045 evenH5704 to Beth-el, unto the placeH4725 whereH834 his tentH168 had been at the beginningH8462, betweenH996 Beth-el and AiH5857; 4unto the placeH4725 of the altarH4196, whichH834 he had madeH6213 there at the firstH7223: and there AbramH87 calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068. 5And LotH3876 also, which wentH1980 with AbramH87, had flocksH6629, and herdsH1241, and tentsH168. 6And the landH776 was notH3808 ableH3201 to bearH5375 them, that they might dwellH3427 togetherH3162: for their substance was greatH7227, soH1961 that they couldH3201 notH3808 dwellH3427 togetherH3162. 7And there was a strifeH7379 betweenH996 the herdmen of Abram’sH87 cattleH4735 and the herdmen of Lot’sH3876 cattleH4735: and the CanaaniteH3669 and the PerizziteH6522 dwelled then in the landH776. 8And AbramH87 saidH559 unto LotH3876, LetH4994 there be noH408 strifeH4808, I prayH4994 thee, betweenH996 meH413 and thee, and betweenH996 my herdmen and thy herdmen; for weH587 are brethrenH251. 9Is notH3808 the wholeH3605 landH776 beforeH6440 thee? separateH6504 thyself, I prayH4994 thee, from meH4994: ifH518 thou wilt take the leftH8040 handH3225, then I will goH8041 to the rightH3225; or ifH518 thou take the rightH3225 handH3225, then I will goH8041 to the leftH8040. 10And LotH3876 liftedH5375 upH5375 his eyesH5869, and beheld allH3605 the PlainH3603 of JordanH3383, that it was well watered everyH3605 where, beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 destroyedH7843 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, like the gardenH1588 of the LORDH3068, like the landH776 of EgyptH4714, as thou goest unto ZoarH6820. 11SoH5921 LotH3876 choseH977 him allH3605 the PlainH3603 of JordanH3383; and LotH3876 journeyedH5265 eastH6924: and they separatedH6504 themselvesH5921 the one from the otherH251. 12AbramH87 dwelled in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and LotH3876 dwelled in the citiesH5892 of the PlainH3603, and movedH167 his tentH167 as farH5704 as SodomH5467. 13Now the menH376 of SodomH5467 were wickedH7451 and sinnersH2400 againstH376 the LORDH3068 exceedinglyH3966. 14And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AbramH87, afterH310 that LotH3876 was separatedH6504 from him, LiftH5375 upH5375 nowH4994 thine eyesH5869, and lookH7200 from the placeH4725 whereH834 thou art, northwardH6828 and southwardH5045 and eastwardH6924 and westwardH3220: 15for allH3605 the landH776 whichH834 thou seest, to thee will I giveH5414 it, and to thy seedH2233 for everH5769. 16And I will makeH7760 thy seedH2233 as the dustH6083 of the earthH776: soH834 that ifH518 a manH376 canH3201 numberH4487 the dustH6083 of the earthH776, then shall thy seedH2233 also be numberedH4487. 17AriseH6965, walkH1980 throughH1980 the landH776 in the lengthH753 of it and in the breadthH7341 of it; for unto thee will I giveH5414 it. 18And AbramH87 movedH167 his tentH167, and cameH935 and dweltH3427 by the oaksH436 of MamreH4471, whichH834 are in HebronH2275, and builtH1129 there an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068.
