12 Abram shall dwell in the land of Canaan, and Lot shall dwell in the cities of the country round about, and will pitch the tent at Sodom. 13 And the men of Sodom were evil and sinful before Jehovah exceedingly. 14 And Jehovah said to Abram after Lot separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes and see from the place which thou art there to the north and the desert, and the east and the sea. 15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever. 16 And I made thy seed as the dust of the earth, that if a man shall be able to reckon up the dust of the earth, thy seed also shall be reckoned up. 17 Arise to walk in the land according to its length and according to its breadth; for to thee will I give it. 18 And Abram will pitch his tent, and will come and will dwell by the oaks of Mamra which is in Hebron, and he will build there an altar to Jehovah.
