- 1. And Abram goeth up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he hath, and Lot with him) towards the south;
- 2. and Abram `is' exceedingly wealthy in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
- 3. And he goeth on his journeyings from the south, even unto Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the commencement, between Bethel and Hai --
- 4. unto the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there doth Abram preach in the name of Jehovah.
- 5. And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there hath been sheep and oxen and tents;
- 6. and the land hath not suffered them to dwell together, for their substance hath been much, and they have not been able to dwell together;
- 7. and there is a strife between those feeding Abram's cattle and those feeding Lot's cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite `are' then dwelling in the land.
- 8. And Abram saith unto Lot, `Let there not, I pray thee, be strife between me and thee, and between my shepherds and thy shepherds, for we `are' men -- brethren.
- 9. Is not all the land before thee? be parted, I pray thee, from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I to the left.'
- 10. And Lot lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the whole circuit of the Jordan that it `is' all a watered country (before Jehovah's destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, as Jehovah's garden, as the land of Egypt,) in thy coming toward Zoar,
- 11. and Lot chooseth for himself the whole circuit of the Jordan; and Lot journeyeth from the east, and they are parted -- a man from his companion;
- 12. Abram hath dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot hath dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and tenteth unto Sodom;
- 13. and the men of Sodom `are' evil, and sinners before Jehovah exceedingly.
- 14. And Jehovah said unto Abram, after Lot's being parted from him, `Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and look from the place where thou `art', northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward;
- 15. for the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed -- to the age.
- 16. And I have set thy seed as dust of the earth, so that, if one is able to number the dust of the earth, even thy seed is numbered;
- 17. rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to thee I give it.'
- 18. And Abram tenteth, and cometh, and dwelleth among the oaks of Mamre, which `are' in Hebron, and buildeth there an altar to Jehovah.
