Genesis Chapter 13
|
|||
|
|
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 as far as 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 Yahweh’s name.
|
|||
|
|
5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, herds, and tents.
|
|||
|
|
6 The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their possessions were so great that they couldn’t live together.
|
|||
|
|
7 There was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land at that time.
|
|||
|
|
8 Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my 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 from one 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 I will give all the land which you see 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 count the dust of the earth, then your offspring may also be counted.
|
|||
|
|
17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its width; 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.
