Genesis 13

1 And Abram goes up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he has, and Lot with him) toward the south;

Therfore Abram stiede fro Egipt, he, and his wijf, and alle thingis that he hadde; and Loth stiede with hym, to the south coost.

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

Forsothe he was ful riche in possessyoun of siluer and of gold.

3 And he goes on his journeys from the south, even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the commencement, between Bethel and Hai—

And he turnede ayen bi the weye in which he cam fro the south in to Bethel, `til to the place, in which bifore he hadde sett tabernacle, bitwixe Bethel and Hay,

4 to the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there Abram preaches in the Name of YHWH.

in the place of the auter which he made bifore, and inwardli clepide there the name of the Lord.

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

But also flockis of scheep, and droues of oxun, and tabernaclis weren to Loth, that was with Abram;

6 and the land has not permitted them to dwell together, for their substance has been much, and they have not been able to dwell together;

and the lond miyte not take hem, that thei schulden dwelle togidre, for the catel of hem was myche, and thei miyten not dwelle in comyn.

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

Wherfor also strijf was maad bitwixe the keperis of flockis of Abram and of Loth. Forsothe Chananei and Feresei dwelliden in that lond in that tyme.

8 And Abram says to Lot, “Please let there not be strife between me and you, and between my shepherds and your shepherds, for we [are] men—brothers.

Therfor Abram seide to Loth, Y biseche, that no strijf be bitwixe me and thee, and bitwixe my scheepherdis and thi scheepherdis; for we ben britheren.

9 Is not all the land before you? Please be parted from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I to the left.”

Lo! al the lond is bifore thee, Y biseche, departe thou fro me; if thou go to the left side, Y schal holde the riyt side; if thou chese the riyt side, Y schal go to the left side.

10 And Lot lifts up his eyes, and sees the whole circuit of the Jordan that it [is] all a watered country (before YHWH’s destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, as YHWH’s garden, as the land of Egypt), in your coming toward Zoar,

And so Loth reiside hise iyen, and seiy aboute al the cuntrei of Jordan, which was al moistid, bifor that the Lord distriede Sodom and Gomorre, as paradis of the Lord, and as Egipt, as men comen in to Segor.

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

And Loth chees to him the cuntre aboute Jordan, and departide fro the eest; and thei weren departid ech fro his brother.

12 Abram has dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot has dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and moves [his] tent to Sodom;

Abram dwellide in the lond of Chanaan; sotheli Loth dwellide in townes aboute Jordan, and wonide in Sodom.

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

Forsothe men of Sodom weren ful wickid, and synneris greetly bifore the Lord.

14 And YHWH said to Abram, after Lot’s being parted from him, “Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you [are], northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward;

And the Lord seide to Abram, aftir that Loth was departid fro him, Reise thin iyen forth riyt, and se fro the place in which thou art now, to the north and south, to the eest and west;

15 for the whole of the land which you are seeing, I give it to you and to your Seed for all time.

Y schal yyue al the lond which thou seest to thee and to thi seed, til in to with outen ende.

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

And Y schal make thi seed as the dust of erthe; if ony man may noumbre the dust of erthe, also he schal mowe noumbre thi seed.

17 rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to you I give it.”

Therfor rise thou, and passe thorou the lond in his lengthe and breede, for Y schal yyue it to thee.

18 And Abram moves [his] tent, and comes, and dwells among the oaks of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and builds there an altar to YHWH.

Therfor Abram, mouynge his tabernacle, cam and dwellide bisidis the valei of Mambre, which is in Ebron; and he bildide there an auter to the Lord.
