3 And he went to the place whence he came, into the wilderness as far as Baethel, as far as the place where his tent was before, between Baethel and Aggai, 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 to the place of the altar, which he built there at first, and Abram there called on 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.

6 And the land was not large enough for them to live together, because their possessions were great; and the land was not large enough for them to live 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 a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle, and the herdmen of Lot's cattle, and the Chananites and the Pherezites then inhabited 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, Let there not be a strife between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen, 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 Lo! is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself from me; if thou goest to the left, I will go to the right, and if thou goest to the right, 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.”
10 And Lot having lifted up his eyes, observed all the country round about Jordan, that it was all watered, before God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, as the garden of the Lord, and as the land of Egypt, until thou come to Zogora. 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 country round Jordan, and Lot went from the east, and they were separated each from his brother. And Abram dwelt in the land of Chanaan. 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 And Lot dwelt in a city of the neighbouring people, and pitched his tent 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 But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God. 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 God said to Abram after Lot was separated from him, Look up with thine eyes, and behold from the place where thou now art northward and southward, and eastward and seaward; 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 which thou seest, I will give it 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 like the dust of the earth; if any one is able to number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed 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 and traverse the land, both in the length of it and in the breadth; for to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. 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 And Abram having removed his tent, came and dwelt by the oak of Mambre, which was in Chebrom, and he there built 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.
