1And Abram went vp out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.Select Genesis 13:1

2And Abram was very rich in cattell, in siluer, and in gold.Select Genesis 13:2

3And hee went on his iourneyes from the South, euen to Beth-el, vnto the place where his tent had bene at the beginning, betweene Beth-el and Hai:Select Genesis 13:3

4Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the Name of the LORD.Select Genesis 13:4

5And Lot also which went with Abram, had flocks and heards, & tents.Select Genesis 13:5

6And the land was not able to beare them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.Select Genesis 13:6

7And there was a strife betweene the heardmen of Abrams cattell, and the heardmen of Lots cattell: And the Canaanite, and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.Select Genesis 13:7

8And Abram said vnto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, betweene mee and thee, and betweene my heardmen and thy heardmen: for wee bee brethren:Select Genesis 13:8

9Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thy selfe, I pray thee, from mee: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will goe to the right: or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will goe to the left.Select Genesis 13:9

10And Lot lifted vp his eyes, and beheld all the plaine of Iordane, that it was well watered euery where before the Lord destroyed Sodome and Gomorah, euen as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou commest vnto Zoar.Select Genesis 13:10

12Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plaine, and pitched his tent toward Sodome.Select Genesis 13:12

13But the men of Sodome were wicked, and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.Select Genesis 13:13

14And the LORD said vnto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift vp now thine eyes, and looke from the place where thou art, Northward, and Southward, and Eastward, and Westward.Select Genesis 13:14

15For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seede for euer.Select Genesis 13:15

16And I will make thy seede as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbred.Select Genesis 13:16

17Arise, walke through the land, in the length of it, and in the breadth of it: for I will giue it vnto thee.Select Genesis 13:17

18Then Abram remoued his tent, and came and dwelt in the plaine of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar vnto the LORD.Select Genesis 13:18
