Genesis 13:8-13

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.
