Genesis 13:10-18 ▼

10 And so Lot lyftyng vp his eyes, behelde all the countrey of Iordane, whiche was well watred euery where before the Lorde destroyed Sodome and Gomorrh, euen as the garden of the Lorde, lyke the lande of Egypt as thou commest vnto Soar.

11 Then Lot chose all the playne of Iordane, and toke his iourney from the east, and so departed the one brother from the other.

12 Abram dwelled in the lande of Chanaan, and Lot abode in the cities of the playne, and pitched his tent vntill Sodome.

13 But the men of Sodome were wicked, and exceedyng sinners agaynst the Lorde.

14 And the Lorde saide vnto Abram, after that Lot was departed fro hym: Lyft vp thyne eyes nowe, and loke fro the place where thou art, northwarde, southward, eastwarde, and westward:

15 For all the lande whiche thou seest, wyll I geue vnto thee, and to thy seede for euer.

16 And I wyl make thy seede as the dust of the earth: so that yf a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seede also be numbred.

17 Arise, and walke about in the lande, after the length of it, & after the breadth of it: for I wyll geue it vnto thee.

18 Then Abram taking downe his tent, came and dwelled in the playne of Mamre, which is in Hebron, & buylded there an aulter vnto the Lorde.
