Genesis 13:1-8 ▼

1 And Abram goes up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he has, and Lot with him) toward the south;

2 and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

3 And he goes on his journeys from the south, even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the commencement, between Bethel and Hai—

4 to the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there Abram preaches in the Name of YHWH.

5 And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there has been sheep and oxen and tents;

6 and the land has not permitted them to dwell together, for their substance has been much, and they have not been able to dwell together;

7 and there is a strife between those feeding Abram’s livestock and those feeding Lot’s livestock; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite [are] then dwelling in the land.

8 And Abram says to Lot, “Please let there not be strife between me and you, and between my shepherds and your shepherds, for we [are] men—brothers.
