1 And so Abram gat hym vp out of Egypt, he and his wife, and al that he had, and Lot with hym, toward the South. So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the Negeb. So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, with his wife and everything he had, and Lot went with him.
2 And Abram was very ryche in cattell, in siluer, and in golde. Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold.
3 And he went foorth on his iourney, from the south towarde Bethel, vnto the place where his tent had ben at the begynnyng, betwene Bethel and Hai: And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, From the Negev he went from place to place until he came to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had been earlier
4 Euen vnto the place of the aulter whiche he had made there at the first, and there Abram called on the name of the Lorde. to the place where he had made an altar at the first. And there Abram called upon the name of the LORD. and where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the LORD.
5 Lot also whiche went with Abram, had sheepe, cattell, and tentes. And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents, Now Lot, who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
6 And the lande was not able to beare them, that they might dwell together: for theyr substaunce was great, so that they coulde not dwell together. so that the land could not support both of them dwelling together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together, But the land could not support them while they stayed together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay together.
7 And there fell a stryfe betwene the heardmen of Abrams cattell, and the heardmen of Lottes cattell: Moreouer, the Chanaanites, and Pherisites dwelled at that tyme in the lande. and there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were dwelling in the land. And quarreling arose between Abram’s herders and Lot’s. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time.
8 Then sayde Abram vnto Lot: let there be no strife I pray thee betweene thee and me, and betweene my heardmen and thyne, for we be brethren. Then Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, for we are kinsmen. So Abram said to Lot, “Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me, or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives.
9 Is not the whole lande before thee? Seperate thy selfe I pray thee from me: yf thou wilt take the left hande, I wyll go to the ryght: or yf thou depart to the ryght hande, I wyll go to the left. Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right, or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left.” Is not the whole land before you? Let’s part company. If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right; if you go to the right, I’ll go to the left.”
10 And so Lot lyftyng vp his eyes, behelde all the countrey of Iordane, whiche was well watred euery where before the Lorde destroyed Sodome and Gomorrh, euen as the garden of the Lorde, lyke the lande of Egypt as thou commest vnto Soar. And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the Jordan Valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan toward Zoar was well watered, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
11 Then Lot chose all the playne of Iordane, and toke his iourney from the east, and so departed the one brother from the other. So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley, and Lot journeyed east. Thus they separated from each other. So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company:
12 Abram dwelled in the lande of Chanaan, and Lot abode in the cities of the playne, and pitched his tent vntill Sodome. Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom. Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom.
13 But the men of Sodome were wicked, and exceedyng sinners agaynst the Lorde. Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the LORD. Now the people of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.
14 And the Lorde saide vnto Abram, after that Lot was departed fro hym: Lyft vp thyne eyes nowe, and loke fro the place where thou art, northwarde, southward, eastwarde, and westward: The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward, The LORD said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, “Look around from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west.
15 For all the lande whiche thou seest, wyll I geue vnto thee, and to thy seede for euer. for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever. All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever.
16 And I wyl make thy seede as the dust of the earth: so that yf a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seede also be numbred. I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted. I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted.
17 Arise, and walke about in the lande, after the length of it, & after the breadth of it: for I wyll geue it vnto thee. Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.” Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you.”
18 Then Abram taking downe his tent, came and dwelled in the playne of Mamre, which is in Hebron, & buylded there an aulter vnto the Lorde. So Abram moved his tent and came and settled by the oaks of Mamre, which are at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the LORD. So Abram went to live near the great trees of Mamre at Hebron, where he pitched his tents. There he built an altar to the LORD.
