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.

Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, and all his possessions, and Lot with him, into the Negev.

2 Abram was very rych in catell syluer and gold.

Abram was very rich in livestock, 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

He went on his journeys from the Negev even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

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

to the place where he had first built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of God.

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

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

The land was not able to support them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to remain 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.

There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time.

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 said to Lot, "Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.

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.

Isn't the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to 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.

Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, like the garden of God, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)

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 the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated from each 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 lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived 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 people of Sodom were evil, sinning greatly against God.

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 God said to Abram after Lot had departed from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, 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 you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.

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.

I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring also could be counted.

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 its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."

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.

Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to God.
