Genesis 13:6-9 ▼

6 so that the land could not support them if they stayed together; their possessions were so great that they could not live together.

7 There were quarrels between the herders of Abram’s livestock and the herders of Lot’s livestock. At this time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land.

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

9 Is not the whole land available? Please separate from me. If you prefer the left, I will go to the right; if you prefer the right, I will go to the left.”
