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 he was very rich in possession of gold and silver.

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 returned by the way that he came, from the south to Bethel, to the place where before he had pitched his tent between Bethel and Hai:

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

In the place of the altar which he had made before; and there he called upon the name of the Lord.

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

But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and herds of beasts, 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

Neither was the land able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, and 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.

Whereupon also there arose a strife between the herdsmen of Abram and of Lot. And at that time the Chanaanite and the Pherezite dwelled in that country.

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.

Abram therefore said to Lot: Let there be no quarrel, I beseech 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.

Behold the whole land is before thee: depart from me I pray thee: if thou wilt go to the left hand, I will take the right: if thou choose the right hand, I will pass 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, lifting up his eyes, saw all the country about the Jordan, which was watered throughout, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, as the paradise of the Lord, and like Egypt as one comes to Segor.

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.

And Lot chose to himself the country about the Jordan, and he departed from the east: and they were separated one brother 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 Chanaan; and Lot abode in the towns that were about the Jordan, and dwelt in Sodom.

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

And the men of Sodom were very wicked, and sinners before the face of the Lord, beyond measure.

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 the Lord said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him: Lift up thy eyes, and look from the place wherein thou now art, to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west.

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

All the land which thou seest, I will give to thee, 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: if any man be able to number the dust of the earth, he shall be able to number thy seed also.

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 and walk through the land in the length, and in the breadth thereof: for I will give it to thee.

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.

So Abram removing his tent came and dwelt by the vale of Mambre, which is in Hebron: and he built there an altar to the Lord.
