1 And Abram * h87 went up * h5927 h8799 out of Egypt * h4714, he, and his wife * h802, and all that he had, and Lot * h3876 with him, into the south * h5045.
2 And Abram * h87 was very * h3966 rich * h3513 h8804 in cattle * h4735, in silver * h3701, and in gold * h2091.
3 And he went * h3212 h8799 on his journeys * h4550 from the south * h5045 even to Bethel * h1008, unto the place * h4725 where his tent * h168 had been * h1961 h8804 at the beginning * h8462, between Bethel * h1008 and Hai * h5857;
4 Unto the place * h4725 of the altar * h4196, which he had made * h6213 h8804 there at the first * h7223: and there Abram * h87 called * h7121 h8799 on the name * h8034 of the LORD * h3068.
5 And Lot * h3876 also, which went * h1980 h8802 with * h854 Abram * h87, had flocks * h6629, and herds * h1241, and tents * h168.
6 And the land * h776 was not able to bear * h5375 h8804 them, that they might dwell * h3427 h8800 together * h3162: for their substance * h7399 was great * h7227, so that they could * h3201 h8804 not dwell * h3427 h8800 together * h3162.
7 And there was a strife * h7379 between the herdmen * h7462 h8802 of Abram's * h87 cattle * h4735 and the herdmen * h7462 h8802 of Lot's * h3876 cattle * h4735: and the Canaanite * h3669 and the Perizzite * h6522 dwelled * h3427 h8802 then in the land * h776.
8 And Abram * h87 said * h559 h8799 unto Lot * h3876, Let there be * h1961 h8799 no * h408 strife * h4808, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen * h7462 h8802 and thy herdmen * h7462 h8802; for we * h582 be brethren * h251. brethren: Heb. men brethren
9 Is not the whole land * h776 before thee * h6440? separate thyself * h6504 h8734, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand * h8040, then I will go to the right * h3231 h8686; or if thou depart to the right hand * h3225, then I will go to the left * h8041 h8686.
10 And Lot * h3876 lifted up * h5375 h8799 his eyes * h5869, and beheld * h7200 h8799 all the plain * h3603 of Jordan * h3383, that it was well watered * h4945 every where, before * h6440 the LORD * h3068 destroyed * h7843 h8763 Sodom * h5467 and Gomorrah * h6017, even as the garden * h1588 of the LORD * h3068, like the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714, as thou comest * h935 h8800 unto Zoar * h6820.
11 Then Lot * h3876 chose * h977 h8799 him all the plain * h3603 of Jordan * h3383; and Lot * h3876 journeyed * h5265 h8799 east * h6924: and they separated themselves * h6504 h8735 the one * h376 from the other * h251.
12 Abram * h87 dwelled * h3427 h8804 in the land * h776 of Canaan * h3667, and Lot * h3876 dwelled * h3427 h8804 in the cities * h5892 of the plain * h3603, and pitched his tent * h167 h8799 toward * h5704 Sodom * h5467.
13 But the men * h582 of Sodom * h5467 were wicked * h7451 and sinners * h2400 before the LORD * h3068 exceedingly * h3966.
14 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8804 unto Abram * h87, after * h310 that Lot * h3876 was separated * h6504 h8736 from him, Lift up * h5375 h8798 now thine eyes * h5869, and look * h7200 h8798 from the place * h4725 where thou art northward * h6828, and southward * h5045, and eastward * h6924, and westward * h3220:
15 For all the land * h776 which thou seest * h7200 h8802, to thee will I give it * h5414 h8799, and to thy seed * h2233 for * h5704 ever * h5769.
16 And I will make * h7760 h8804 thy seed * h2233 as the dust * h6083 of the earth * h776: so that * h834 if a man * h376 can * h3201 h8799 number * h4487 h8800 the dust * h6083 of the earth * h776, then shall thy seed * h2233 also be numbered * h4487 h8735.
17 Arise * h6965 h8798, walk * h1980 h8690 through the land * h776 in the length * h753 of it and in the breadth * h7341 of it; for I will give * h5414 h8799 it unto thee.
18 Then Abram * h87 removed his tent * h167 h8799, and came * h935 h8799 and dwelt * h3427 h8799 in the plain * h436 of Mamre * h4471, which is in Hebron * h2275, and built * h1129 h8799 there an altar * h4196 unto the LORD * h3068. plain: Heb. plains
