Genesis 13

1 Than Abram departed out of Egipte both he and his wyfe and all that he had and Lot wyth hym vnto 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 Abram was very rych in catell syluer and gold.

And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

3 And he went on his iourney fro the south even vnto BETHEL ad vnto the place where his tente was at the fyrst tyme betwene BETHEL and Ay

And he went on his journeys from the South even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Ai,

4 and vnto the place of the aulter which he made before. And there called Abram vpon the name of the LORde.

unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.

5 Lot also which went wyth hym had shepe catell and tentes:

And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

6 so that the londe was not abill to receaue them that they myght dwell together for the substance of their riches was so greate that they coude not dwell together

And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

7 And there fell a stryfe betwene the herdmen of Abrams catell and the herdmen of Lots catell. Moreouer the Cananytes and the Pherysites dwelled at that tyme in the lande.

And there was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.

8 Than sayd Abram vnto Lot: let there be no stryfe I praye the betwene the and me and betwene my herdmen and thyne for we be brethren.

And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we are brethren.

9 Ys not all the hole lande before the? Departe I praye the fro me. Yf thou wylt take the lefte hande I wyll take the right: Or yf thou take the right hande I wyll take the left.

Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if [thou wilt take] the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if [thou take] the right hand, then I will go to the left.

10 And Lot lyft vp hys eyes and beheld all the contre aboute Iordane which was a plenteous contre of water every where before the LORde destroyed Sodoma and Gomorra. Even as the garden of the LORde and as the lande of Egipte tyll thou come to Zoar.

And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the Plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before Jehovah destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar.

11 Than Lot chose all the costes of Iordane ad toke hys iourney from the east. And so departed the one brother from the other.

So Lot chose him all the Plain of the Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

12 Abram dwelled in the lande of Canaan. And lot in the cytes of the playne and tented tyll he came to Sodome.

Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the Plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

13 But the men of sodome were wyked and synned exceadyngly agenst the LORde.

Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against Jehovah exceedingly.

14 And the LORde sayed vnto Abram after that Lot was departed from hym: lyfte vp thyne eyes and loke from ye place where thou art northward southward eastward and westward

And Jehovah said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward:

15 for all the lande which thou seiste wyll I gyue vnto the and to thy seed for ever.

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

16 And I wyll make thy seed as the dust of the erth: so that yf a ma can nombre the dust of the erth than shall thy seed also be nombred.

And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then may thy seed also be numbered.

17 Aryse and walke aboute in the lande in the length of it ad in the bredth for I wyll geue it vnto the.

Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it.

18 Than Abra toke downe hys tente and went and dwelled in the okegrove of Mamre which is in Ebron and buylded there an altar to the LORde.

And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built there an altar unto Jehovah.
