And Abram
went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all
that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
02 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in
silver, and in gold.
03 And he went on his journeys from the
south even to Bethel, unto the place where his
tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel
and Hai;
04 Unto the place of the altar, which he
had make there at the first: and there Abram
called on the name of the Lord.
05 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had
flocks, and herds, and tents.
06 And the land was not able to bear them,
that they might dwell together: for their
substance was great, so that they could not dwell
together.
07 And there was a strife between the
herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of
Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite
dwelled then in the land.
08 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no
strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and
between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be
brethren.
09 Is not the whole land before thee?
separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou
wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the
right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then
I will go to the left.
10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld
all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered
every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and
Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like
the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.

11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of
Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they
separated themselves the one from the other.
12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and
Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and
pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and
sinners before the Lord exceedingly.
14 And the Lord said unto Abram, after that
Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine
eyes, and look from the place where thou art
northward, and southward, and eastward, and
westward:
15 For all the land which thou seest, to
thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of
the earth: so that if a man can number the dust
of the earth, then shall thy seed also be
numbered.
17 Arise, walk through the land in the
length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will
give it unto thee.
18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came
and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in
Hebron, and built there an altar unto the Lord.
