13Genesis 13

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

2Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.Select Genesis 13:2

3He 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,Select Genesis 13:3

4to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on Yahweh’s name.Select Genesis 13:4

5Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.Select Genesis 13:5

6The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together: for their substance was great, so that they could not live together.Select Genesis 13:6

7There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time.Select Genesis 13:7

8Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.Select Genesis 13:8

9Isn’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.”Select Genesis 13:9

10Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.Select Genesis 13:10

11So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves the one from the other.Select Genesis 13:11

12Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.Select Genesis 13:12

13Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.Select Genesis 13:13

14Yahweh 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,Select Genesis 13:14

15for all the land which you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever.Select Genesis 13:15

16I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then your seed may also be numbered.Select Genesis 13:16

17Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you.”Select Genesis 13:17

18Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.Select Genesis 13:18
