Genesis 13

1 Then Abram went vp from Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him toward the South.

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

2 And Abram was very rich in cattell, in siluer and in golde.

And he was very rich in possession of gold and silver.

3 And he went on his iourney from ye South toward Beth-el, to the place where his tent had bene at ye beginning, betweene Beth-el and Haai,

And he returned by the way that he came, from the south to Bethel, to the place where before he had pitched his tent between Bethel and Hai:

4 Vnto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the Name of the Lord.

In the place of the altar which he had made before; and there he called upon the name of the Lord.

5 And Lot also, who went with Abram, had sheepe, and cattell and tentes,

But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and herds of beasts, and tents.

6 So that the land coulde not beare them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they coulde not dwell together.

Neither was the land able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, and they could not dwell together.

7 Also there was debate betweene ye heardmen of Abrams cattell, and the heardmen of Lots cattell. (and the Canaanites and the Perizzites dwelled at that time in the land.)

Whereupon also there arose a strife between the herdsmen of Abram and of Lot. And at that time the Chanaanite and the Pherezite dwelled in that country.

8 Then saide Abram vnto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, betweene thee and me, neither betweene mine heardmen and thine heardmen: for we be brethren.

Abram therefore said to Lot: Let there be no quarrel, I beseech thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen: for we are brethren.

9 Is not the whole land before thee? depart I pray thee from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will goe to the right: or if thou goe to the right hand, then I will take the left.

Behold the whole land is before thee: depart from me I pray thee: if thou wilt go to the left hand, I will take the right: if thou choose the right hand, I will pass to the left.

10 So when Lot lifted vp his eyes, he saw that all the plaine of Iorden was watered euery where: (for before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorah, it was as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest vnto Zoar)

And Lot, lifting up his eyes, saw all the country about the Jordan, which was watered throughout, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, as the paradise of the Lord, and like Egypt as one comes to Segor.

11 Then Lot chose vnto him all the plaine of Iorden, and tooke his iourney from the East: and they departed the one from the other.

And Lot chose to himself the country about the Jordan, and he departed from the east: and they were separated one brother from the other.

12 Abram dwelled in the lande of Canaan, and Lot abode in the cities of the plaine, and pitched his tent euen to Sodom.

Abram dwelt in the land of Chanaan; and Lot abode in the towns that were about the Jordan, and dwelt in Sodom.

13 Now the men of Sodom were wicked and exceeding sinners against the Lord.

And the men of Sodom were very wicked, and sinners before the face of the Lord, beyond measure.

14 Then the Lord saide vnto Abram, (after that Lot was departed from him) Lift vp thine eyes nowe, and looke from the place where thou art, Northward, and Southward, and Eastwarde, and Westward:

And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him: Lift up thy eyes, and look from the place wherein thou now art, to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west.

15 For all the land, which thou seest, will I giue vnto thee and to thy seede for euer,

All the land which thou seest, I will give to thee, and to thy seed for ever.

16 And 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 seede be numbred.

And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: if any man be able to number the dust of the earth, he shall be able to number thy seed also.

17 Arise, walke through the land, in ye length thereof, and breadth thereof: for I will giue it vnto thee.

Arise and walk through the land in the length, and in the breadth thereof: for I will give it to thee.

18 Then Abram remoued his tent, and came and dwelled in the plaine of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and builded there an altar vnto ye Lord.

So Abram removing his tent came and dwelt by the vale of Mambre, which is in Hebron: and he built there an altar to the Lord.
