6 And the land was not able to support them to dwell together, for their possessions were great, and they were not able to 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 was strife between the shepherds of livestock of Abram and between the shepherds of livestock of Lot. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were then dwelling in the land. 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 And Abram said to Lot, “Please let there not be strife between me and between you, and between my shepherds and between your shepherds, for we are men—brothers. 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 all the land before you? Separate, please, from me—if to the left, then I will go to the right; and if to the right, then I will 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.”
