< 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.
Then Abram went vp from Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him toward the South.
2 And Abram [was] wealthy very in livestock in silver and in gold.
And Abram was very rich in cattell, in siluer and in golde.
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.
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 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.
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 And also to Lot who was traveling with Abram it be[longed] sheep and cattle and tents.
And Lot also, who went with Abram, had sheepe, and cattell and tentes,
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 ¿ 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 he dwelt in [the] land of Canaan and Lot he dwelt in [the] cities of the valley and he moved tent to 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 And [the] people of Sodom [were] wicked and sinful to Yahweh exceedingly.
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and exceeding sinners 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.
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 you [are] seeing to you I will give it and to offspring your until perpetuity.
For all the land, which thou seest, will I giue vnto thee and to thy seede for euer,
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.
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 Arise walk about in the land to length its and to breadth its for to you I will give it.
Arise, walke through the land, in ye length thereof, and breadth thereof: for I will giue it vnto thee.
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.
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.
