Genesis 13:5-14
5And LotH3876 also, who wentH1980 withH854 AbramH87, had flocksH6629, and herdsH1241, and tentsH168. 6And the landH776 was not able to bearH5375 them, that they might dwellH3427 togetherH3162: for their substanceH7399 was greatH7227, so that they couldH3201 not dwellH3427 togetherH3162. 7And there was a strifeH7379 between the herdmenH7462 of Abram’sH87 cattleH4735 and the herdmenH7462 of Lot’sH3876 cattleH4735: and the CanaaniteH3669 and the PerizziteH6522 dweltH3427 then in the landH776. 8And AbramH87 saidH559 to LotH3876, Let there beH1961 noH408 strifeH4808, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmenH7462 and thy herdmenH7462; for weH582 are brethrenH251.1 9Is not the whole landH776 before theeH6440? separate thyselfH6504, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left handH8040, then I will go to the rightH3231; or if thou wilt depart to the right handH3225, then I will go to the leftH8041.
10And LotH3876 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and beheldH7200 all the plainH3603 of JordanH3383, that it was well wateredH4945 every where, beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 destroyedH7843 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, even as the gardenH1588 of the LORDH3068, like the landH776 of EgyptH4714, as thou comestH935 to ZoarH6820. 11Then LotH3876 choseH977 for himself all the plainH3603 of JordanH3383; and LotH3876 journeyedH5265 eastH6924: and they separated themselvesH6504 the oneH376 from the otherH251. 12AbramH87 dweltH3427 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and LotH3876 dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of the plainH3603, and pitched his tentH167 towardH5704 SodomH5467. 13But the menH582 of SodomH5467 were wickedH7451 and sinnersH2400 before the LORDH3068 exceedinglyH3966.
14And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to AbramH87, afterH310 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:
