Genesis 13

CHAPTER 13 Abram and Lot Part

1 [³ascended ¹And ²Abram] from out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all of his, and Lot with him, into the wilderness. 2 And Abram was [²rich ¹exceedingly] in cattle, and silver, and gold. 3 And he went from where he came into the wilderness, unto Beth-el, unto the place where [³was ¹his tent ²formerly], between Beth-el and between Hai; 4 unto the place of the altar which he made there at the beginning. And [²called upon ⁶there ¹Abram ³the ⁴name ⁵of the lord]. 5 And to Lot, the one going forth with Abram, was sheep, and oxen, and cattle. 6 And [³did not ⁴have space ⁵for them ¹the ²land] to dwell together, for [²were ¹their possessions] many, and they were not able to dwell together. 7 And there was a battle between the herdsmen of the cattle of Abram, and between the herdsmen of the cattle of Lot. And the Canaanites and the Perizzites then inhabited the land. 8 [³said ¹And ²Abram] to Lot, Do not let there be a battle between me and you, and between your herdsmen and between my herdsmen! for [²men ⁴brothers ³are ¹we]. 9 [³not ¹Behold ⁴all ⁵the ⁶earth ⁷before ⁸you ²is]? Part yourself from me! If you go to the left, I will go to the right; but if you go to the right, I will go to the left. 10 And Lot, lifting up his eyes, looked upon all the place round about the Jordan, that all was watered (before the eradicating by God of Sodom and Gomorrah) as the paradise of God, and as the land of Egypt unto coming into Zoar. 11 And Lot chose to himself all the place round about the Jordan. And Lot departed from the east. And they were parted, each from his brother. 12 And Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in a city of the place round about, and he pitched a tent in Sodom. 13 But the men in Sodom were wicked and sinners before God, exceedingly.

God Promises Land

14 And God said to Abram, after Lot parted from him, Look up with your eyes, and behold from the place which [³now ¹you ²are], to the north and south, and east, and west! 15 That all the land which you see, [³to you ¹I will give ²it], and to your seed, unto the eon. 16 And I will make your seed as the sand of the earth. If [²is able ¹anyone] to count out the sand of the earth, then [²your seed ¹they shall count out]. 17 In rising up, you travel through the land unto both the length of it and unto the width; for to you I shall give it, and to your seed, into the eon. 18 And moving his tent, Abram came and dwelt around the oak of Mamre, which was in Hebron. And he built there an altar to the lord.
