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 thee? be parted, I pray thee, from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I 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.”

15 for the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed -- to the age. 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 have set thy seed as dust of the earth, so that, if one is able to number the dust of the earth, even thy seed is 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.
