1SO ABRAM went up out of Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South [country of Judah, the Negeb].
2Now Abram was extremely rich in livestock and in silver and in gold.
3And he journeyed on from the South [country of Judah, the Negeb] as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
4Where he had built an altar at first; and there Abram called on the name of the Lord.
5But Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
6Now the land was not able to nourish {and} support them so they could dwell together, for their possessions were too great for them to live together.
7And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in the land [making fodder more difficult to obtain].
8So Abram said to Lot, Let there be no strife, I beg of you, between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, for we are relatives.
9Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself, I beg of you, from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if you choose the right hand, then I will go to the left.
10And Lot looked and saw that everywhere the Jordan Valley was well watered. Before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, [it was all] like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.
11Then Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley and [he] traveled east. So they separated.
12Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the [Jordan] Valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom {and} dwelt there.
13But the men of Sodom were wicked and exceedingly great sinners against the Lord.
14The Lord said to Abram after Lot had left him, Lift up now your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward;
15For all the land which you see I will give to you and to your posterity forever.
16And I will make your descendants like the dust of the earth, so that if a man could count the dust of the earth, then could your descendants also be counted.
17Arise, walk through the land, the length of it and the breadth of it, for I will give it to you.
18Then Abram moved his tent and came and dwelt among the oaks {or} terebinths of Mamre, which are at Hebron, and built there an altar to the Lord.
