< previous GENESIS - CHAPTER THIRTEEN next >
1 Abram went up out of Egypt—he, his wife, all
that he had, and Lot with him—into the South. 2 Abram was very rich in
livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3 He went on his journeys from the
South even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning,
between Bethel and Ai, 4 to the place of the altar, which he had made
there at the first. There Abram called on Jehovah’s name. 5 Lot also, who
went with Abram, had flocks, herds, and tents. 6 The land was not able to
bear them, that they might live together; for their substance was great, so
that they could not live together. 7 There was strife between the herdsmen
of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and
the Perizzites lived in the land at that time. 8 Abram said to Lot,
“Please, let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen
and my herdsmen; for we are relatives. 9 Isn’t the whole land before you?
Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to
the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left.”
10 Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain
of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Jehovah destroyed
Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as you
go to Zoar. 11 So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot
traveled east, and they separated themselves the one from the other. 12 Abram
lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and
moved his tent as far as Sodom. 13 Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly
wicked and sinners against Jehovah.
14 Jehovah said to Abram, after Lot was separated
from him, “Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are,
northward and southward and eastward and westward, 15 for all the land
which you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever. 16 I
will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can number
the dust of the earth, then your offspring may also be numbered. 17 Arise,
walk through the land in its length and in its width; for I will give it to
you.”
18 Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by
the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Jehovah.
