And Abram{H87} went up{H5927}{(H8799)} out of Egypt{H4714}, he, and his wife{H802}, and all that he had, and Lot{H3876} with him, into the south{H5045}.

And Abram{H87} was very{H3966} rich{H3513}{(H8804)} in cattle{H4735}, in silver{H3701}, and in gold{H2091}.

And he went{H3212}{(H8799)} on his journeys{H4550} from the south{H5045} even to Bethel{H1008}, unto the place{H4725} where his tent{H168} had been{H1961}{(H8804)} at the beginning{H8462}, between Bethel{H1008} and Hai{H5857};

Unto the place{H4725} of the altar{H4196}, which he had made{H6213}{(H8804)} there at the first{H7223}: and there Abram{H87} called{H7121}{(H8799)} on the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068}.

And Lot{H3876} also, which went{H1980}{(H8802)} with{H854} Abram{H87}, had flocks{H6629}, and herds{H1241}, and tents{H168}.

And the land{H776} was not able to bear{H5375}{(H8804)} them, that they might dwell{H3427}{(H8800)} together{H3162}: for their substance{H7399} was great{H7227}, so that they could{H3201}{(H8804)} not dwell{H3427}{(H8800)} together{H3162}.

And there was a strife{H7379} between the herdmen{H7462}{(H8802)} of Abram's{H87} cattle{H4735} and the herdmen{H7462}{(H8802)} of Lot's{H3876} cattle{H4735}: and the Canaanite{H3669} and the Perizzite{H6522} dwelled{H3427}{(H8802)} then in the land{H776}.

And Abram{H87} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Lot{H3876}, Let there be{H1961}{(H8799)} no{H408} strife{H4808}, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen{H7462}{(H8802)} and thy herdmen{H7462}{(H8802)}; for we{H582} be brethren{H251}.

Is not the whole land{H776} before thee{H6440}? separate thyself{H6504}{(H8734)}, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand{H8040}, then I will go to the right{H3231}{(H8686)}; or if thou depart to the right hand{H3225}, then I will go to the left{H8041}{(H8686)}.

And Lot{H3876} lifted up{H5375}{(H8799)} his eyes{H5869}, and beheld{H7200}{(H8799)} all the plain{H3603} of Jordan{H3383}, that it was well watered{H4945} every where, before{H6440} the LORD{H3068} destroyed{H7843}{(H8763)} Sodom{H5467} and Gomorrah{H6017}, even as the garden{H1588} of the LORD{H3068}, like the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714}, as thou comest{H935}{(H8800)} unto Zoar{H6820}.

Then Lot{H3876} chose{H977}{(H8799)} him all the plain{H3603} of Jordan{H3383}; and Lot{H3876} journeyed{H5265}{(H8799)} east{H6924}: and they separated themselves{H6504}{(H8735)} the one{H376} from the other{H251}.

Abram{H87} dwelled{H3427}{(H8804)} in the land{H776} of Canaan{H3667}, and Lot{H3876} dwelled{H3427}{(H8804)} in the cities{H5892} of the plain{H3603}, and pitched his tent{H167}{(H8799)} toward{H5704} Sodom{H5467}.

But the men{H582} of Sodom{H5467} were wicked{H7451} and sinners{H2400} before the LORD{H3068} exceedingly{H3966}.

And the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8804)} unto Abram{H87}, after{H310} that Lot{H3876} was separated{H6504}{(H8736)} from him, Lift up{H5375}{(H8798)} now thine eyes{H5869}, and look{H7200}{(H8798)} from the place{H4725} where thou art northward{H6828}, and southward{H5045}, and eastward{H6924}, and westward{H3220}:

For all the land{H776} which thou seest{H7200}{(H8802)}, to thee will I give it{H5414}{(H8799)}, and to thy seed{H2233} for{H5704} ever{H5769}.

And I will make{H7760}{(H8804)} thy seed{H2233} as the dust{H6083} of the earth{H776}: so that{H834} if a man{H376} can{H3201}{(H8799)} number{H4487}{(H8800)} the dust{H6083} of the earth{H776}, then shall thy seed{H2233} also be numbered{H4487}{(H8735)}.

Arise{H6965}{(H8798)}, walk{H1980}{(H8690)} through the land{H776} in the length{H753} of it and in the breadth{H7341} of it; for I will give{H5414}{(H8799)} it unto thee.

Then Abram{H87} removed his tent{H167}{(H8799)}, and came{H935}{(H8799)} and dwelt{H3427}{(H8799)} in the plain{H436} of Mamre{H4471}, which is in Hebron{H2275}, and built{H1129}{(H8799)} there an altar{H4196} unto the LORD{H3068}.
