1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into 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 he was very rich in possession of gold and silver. 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 returned by the way that he came, from the south to Bethel, to the place where before he had pitched his tent between 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 In the place of the altar which he had made before; and there he called upon the name of the Lord. 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 But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and herds of beasts, and tents. 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 Neither was the land able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance 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 Whereupon also there arose a strife between the herdsmen of Abram and of Lot. And at that time the Chanaanite and the Pherezite dwelled in that country. 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 Abram therefore said to Lot: Let there be no quarrel, I beseech thee, 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 Behold the whole land is before thee: depart from me I pray thee: if thou wilt go to the left hand, I will take the right: if thou choose the right hand, I will pass 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 Lot, lifting up his eyes, saw all the country about the Jordan, which was watered throughout, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, as the paradise of the Lord, and like Egypt as one comes to Segor. 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 to himself the country about the Jordan, and he departed from the east: and they were separated 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 dwelt in the land of Chanaan; and Lot abode in the towns that were about the Jordan, and dwelt in 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 men of Sodom were very wicked, and sinners before the face of the Lord, beyond measure. 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 Lord said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him: Lift up thy eyes, and look from the place wherein thou now art, to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west. 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 All the land which thou seest, I will 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: if any man be able to number the dust of the earth, he shall be able to number thy seed also. 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 walk through the land in the length, and in the breadth thereof: 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 So Abram removing his tent came and dwelt by the vale of Mambre, which is in Hebron: and he built there an altar to the Lord. 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.
