- 1. Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.
- 2. Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
- 3. He went on his journeys from the South even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
- 4. to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the name of Yahweh.
- 5. Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
- 6. The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together: for their substance was great, so that they could not live together.
- 7. There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time.
- 8. Abram said to Lot, "Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.
- 9. Isn't the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left."
- 10. Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.
- 11. So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves the one from the other.
- 12. Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
- 13. Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.
- 14. Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
- 15. for all the land which you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever.
- 16. I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then your seed may also be numbered.
- 17. Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."
- 18. Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.
