4 to the place of the altar that he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on the name of Jehovah. 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.

6 And the land could not support them, that they might dwell together, for their property was great; and they could 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 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. 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, I pray thee let there be no contention between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen, for we are 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 land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if to the left, then I will take the right; and if to the right, then I will take 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 Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan that it was thoroughly watered, before Jehovah had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah; as the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as one goes to Zoar. 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 And Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot went toward the east. And they separated the one 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 dwelt in the land of Canaan; and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched tents as far as Sodom. 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 And the people of Sodom were wicked, and great sinners before Jehovah. 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 Jehovah said to Abram, after that Lot had separated himself from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward 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 land that thou seest will I give to thee, and to thy seed for ever. 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 will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, so that if any one can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also will be numbered. 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, walk through the land according to the length of it and according to the breadth of it; for I will give it to 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 moved [his] tents, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron. And he built there an altar to Jehovah. 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.
