Genesis 13

1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, towards the south.

And Abram goeth up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he hath, and Lot with him) towards the south;

2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

3 And he went on his journeys from the south as far as Bethel; as far as the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai;

And he goeth on his journeyings from the south, even unto Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the commencement, between Bethel and Hai —

4 to the place of the altar that he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.

unto the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there doth Abram preach in the name of Jehovah.

5 And Lot also who went with Abram had flocks, and herds, and tents.

And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there hath been sheep and oxen and tents;

6 And the land could not support them, that they might dwell together, for their property was great; and they could not dwell together.

and the land hath not suffered them to dwell together, for their substance hath been much, and they have not been able to dwell together;

7 And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in the land.

and there is a strife between those feeding Abram's cattle and those feeding Lot's cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite [are] then dwelling in the land.

8 And Abram said to Lot, I pray thee let there be no contention between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen, for we are brethren.

And Abram saith unto Lot, 'Let there not, I pray thee, be strife between me and thee, and between my shepherds and thy shepherds, for we [are] men — brethren.

9 Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if to the left, then I will take the right; and if to the right, then I will take the left.

Is not all the land before thee? be parted, I pray thee, from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I to the left.'

10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan that it was thoroughly watered, before Jehovah had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah; as the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as one goes to Zoar.

And Lot lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the whole circuit of the Jordan that it [is] all a watered country (before Jehovah's destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, as Jehovah's garden, as the land of Egypt, ) in thy coming toward Zoar,

11 And Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot went toward the east. And they separated the one from the other:

and Lot chooseth for himself the whole circuit of the Jordan; and Lot journeyeth from the east, and they are parted — a man from his companion;

12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan; and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched tents as far as Sodom.

Abram hath dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot hath dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and tenteth unto Sodom;

13 And the people of Sodom were wicked, and great sinners before Jehovah.

and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before Jehovah exceedingly.

14 And Jehovah said to Abram, after that Lot had separated himself from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward;

And Jehovah said unto Abram, after Lot's being parted from him, 'Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and look from the place where thou [art], northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward;

15 for all the land that thou seest will I give to thee, and to thy seed for ever.

for the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed — to the age.

16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, so that if any one can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also will be numbered.

And I have set thy seed as dust of the earth, so that, if one is able to number the dust of the earth, even thy seed is numbered;

17 Arise, walk through the land according to the length of it and according to the breadth of it; for I will give it to thee.

rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to thee I give it.'

18 Then Abram moved [his] tents, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron. And he built there an altar to Jehovah.

And Abram tenteth, and cometh, and dwelleth among the oaks of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and buildeth there an altar to Jehovah.
