Genesis 13:1-8 ▼

1 So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the Negeb.

2 Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

3 He journeyed on by stages from the Negeb as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

4 to the place where he had made an altar at the first; and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

5 Now Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents,

6 so that the land could not support both of them living together; for their possessions were so great that they could not live together,

7 and there was strife between the herders of Abram’s livestock and the herders of Lot’s livestock. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land.

8 Then Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herders and my herders; for we are kindred.
