< Genesis 13 >
1 And he went up Abram from Egypt he and wife his and all that [belonged] to him and Lot with him the Negev towards.
So Abram went up out of Egypt into the Negev—he and his wife and all his possessions—and Lot was with him.
2 And Abram [was] wealthy very in livestock in silver and in gold.
And Abram had become extremely wealthy in livestock and silver and gold.
3 And he went to journeyings his from [the] Negev and to Beth-el to the place where it had been there (tent his *Q(K)*) at the beginning between Beth-el and between Ai.
From the Negev he journeyed from place to place toward Bethel, until he came to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had formerly been pitched,
4 To [the] place of the altar which he had made there at the former [time] and he called there Abram on [the] name of Yahweh.
to the site where he had built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
5 And also to Lot who was traveling with Abram it be[longed] sheep and cattle and tents.
Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
6 And not it supported them the land to dwell together for it was possession[s] their much and not they were able to dwell together.
But the land was unable to support both of them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to coexist.
7 And it was quarreling between [the] herdsmen of [the] livestock of Abram and between [the] herdsmen of [the] livestock of Lot and the Canaanite[s] and the Perizzite[s] then [was] dwelling in the land.
And there was discord between the herdsmen of Abram and the herdsmen of Lot. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were also living in the land.
8 And he said Abram to Lot may not please there be strife between me and between you and between herdsmen my and between herdsmen your for [are] men brothers we.
So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no contention between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen. After all, we are brothers.
9 ¿ Not [is] all the land before you separate please from with me if the left so let me go right and if the right and I will go left.
Is not the whole land before you? Now separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, I will go to the right; if you go to the right, I will go to the left.”
10 And he lifted up Lot eyes his and he saw all [the] valley of the Jordan that all of it [was] well-watered before - destroyed Yahweh Sodom and Gomorrah like [the] garden of Yahweh like [the] land of Egypt going you Zoar.
And Lot looked out and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan, all the way to Zoar, was well watered like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
11 And he chose for himself Lot all [the] valley of the Jordan and he set out Lot from [the] east and they separated each from with brother his.
So Lot chose the whole plain of the Jordan for himself and set out toward the east. And Abram and Lot parted company.
12 Abram he dwelt in [the] land of Canaan and Lot he dwelt in [the] cities of the valley and he moved tent to Sodom.
Abram lived in the land of Canaan, but Lot settled in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13 And [the] people of Sodom [were] wicked and sinful to Yahweh exceedingly.
But the men of Sodom were wicked, sinning greatly against the LORD.
14 And Yahweh he said to Abram after separated Lot from with him lift up please eyes your and look from the place where you [are] there north-ward and south-ward and east-ward and west-ward.
After Lot had departed, the LORD said to Abram, “Now lift up your eyes from the place where you are, and look to the north and south and east and west,
15 For all the land which you [are] seeing to you I will give it and to offspring your until perpetuity.
for all the land that you see, I will give to you and your offspring forever.
16 And I will make offspring your like [the] dust of the earth which - if he will be able anyone to count [the] dust of the earth also offspring your it will numbered.
I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if one could count the dust of the earth, then your offspring could be counted.
17 Arise walk about in the land to length its and to breadth its for to you I will give it.
Get up and walk around the land, through its length and breadth, for I will give it to you.”
18 And he moved tent Abram and he went and he dwelt at [the] great trees of Mamre which [are] at Hebron and he built there an altar to Yahweh.
So Abram moved his tent and went to live near the Oaks of Mamre at Hebron, where he built an altar to the LORD.
