Genesis 13:10-18

10Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the whole area surrounding the Jordan was well watered in its entirety (before Adonai destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah)—like Adonai’s garden, like the land of Egypt—till you come to Zoar.

11So Lot chose for himself the whole area surrounding the Jordan. Lot journeyed to the east, and they separated from each other.

12Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the valley. And he moved his tent from place to place near Sodom.

13But the people of Sodom were evil—very great sinners against Adonai.

14After Lot separated himself from him, Adonai had said to Abram, “lift up your eyes, now, and look from the place where you are, to the north, south, east and west.

15For all the land that you are looking at, I will give to you and to your seed forever.

16I will make your seed like the dust of the earth so that if one could count the dust of the earth, then your seed could also be counted.

17Get up! Walk about the land through its length and width—for I will give it to you.”

18So Abram moved his tent from place to place, and came and dwelt by Mamre’s large trees, which are in Hebron, and there built an altar to Adonai.
