Genesis 13

1 So Abram came up out of Egypt he and his wife and all that he had and Lot with him, towards the South.

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

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

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

3 And he went his way, by his removals, from the South even as far as to Bethel, —as far as the place where his tent was at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai:

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,

4 unto the place of the altar, which he made there at first, —and Abram called there, on the name of Yahweh.

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

5 Now, Lot also, who was going with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents.

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

6 And the land suffered them not to dwell together, —because their substance had become, great, so that they could not dwell together.

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.

7 And there arose a strife betwixt the herdmen of Abram, and the herdmen of Lot. Now the Canaanite and the Perizzite, were then dwelling in the land.

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.)

8 So then Abram said unto Lot Pray let not cause of strife arise betwixt me and thee, or betwixt my herdmen and thy herdmen; for brethren, are we.

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.

9 Is not, all the land, before thee? I pray thee, separate thyself from me, —if to the left hand, then I will go to the right, if to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

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.

10 So Lot lifted up his eyes and beheld all the circuit of the Jordan, that the whole of it, was well-watered, —before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the Garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as thou enterest into Zoar.

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)

11 And Lot chose for himself all the circuit of the Jordan, so Lot brake up eastwards, —and they separated themselves, each man from his brother:

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.

12 Abram, fixed his dwelling in the land of Canaan, —but, Lot, fixed his dwelling among the cities, of the circuit, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

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

13 Now, the men of Sodom were base and sinful, —against Yahweh, exceedingly.

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

14 And, Yahweh, said unto Abram after that Lot had separated himself from him, Lift up, I pray thee thine eyes and look, from the place where thou art, —northward and southward and eastward and westward;

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:

15 for all the land which thou art beholding—to thee, will I give it, and to thy seed unto times age-abiding;

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

16 and I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, —so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also, may be numbered.

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.

17 Rise! go up and down in the land, to the length thereof and to the breadth thereof, for to thee, will I give it.

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

18 So Abram moved his tent and came in and dwelt among the oaks of Mamre, which were in Hebron, —and built there an altar to Yahweh.

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.
