GE-13:1  And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and

all

that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.

GE-13:2  And Abram [was] very rich in cattle, in silver, and in

gold.

GE-13:3  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;

GE-13:4  Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at

the

first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

GE-13:5  And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and

herds,

and tents.

GE-13:6  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.

GE-13:7  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.

GE-13:8  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.

GE-13:9  [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.

GE-13:10  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.

GE-13:11  Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot

journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the

other.

GE-13:12  Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled

in the

cities of the plain, and pitched [his] tent toward Sodom.

GE-13:13  But the men of Sodom [were] wicked and sinners before

the

LORD exceedingly.

GE-13:14  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:

GE-13:15  For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give

it,

and to thy seed for ever.

GE-13:16  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.

GE-13:17  Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and

in the

breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.

GE-13:18  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.
