13:1 Abram went
north out of Egypt to the southern part of Canaan with his wife and
everything he owned, and Lot went with him. |
|
13:2 Abram was a
very rich man, with sheep, goats, and cattle, as well as silver and gold. |
|
13:3 Then he left
there and moved from place to place, going toward Bethel. He reached the
place between Bethel and Ai where he had camped before |
|
13:4 and had built
an altar. There he worshiped the LORD. |
|
13:5 Lot also had
sheep, goats, and cattle, as well as his own family and servants. |
|
13:6 And so there
was not enough pasture land for the two of them to stay together, because
they had too many animals. |
|
13:7 So quarrels
broke out between the men who took care of Abram's animals and those who took
care of Lot's animals. (At that time the Canaanites
and the Perizzites were still living in the land.) |
|
13:8
Then Abram
said to Lot, "We are relatives, and your men and my men shouldn't be
quarreling. |
|
13:9 So let's
separate. Choose any part of the land you want. You go one way, and I'll go
the other." |
|
13:10 Lot looked
around and saw that the whole Jordan Valley, all the way to Zoar, had plenty of water, like the Garden of the LORD or
like the land of Egypt. (This was before the LORD had destroyed the cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah.) |
|
13:11 So Lot chose
the whole Jordan Valley for himself and moved away toward the east. That is
how the two men parted. |
|
13:12 Abram stayed
in the land of Canaan, and Lot settled among the cities in the valley and
camped near Sodom, |
|
13:13 whose people
were wicked and sinned against the LORD. |
|
13:14 After Lot had
left, the LORD said to Abram, "From where you are, look carefully in all
directions. |
|
13:15 I am going to
give you and your descendants all the land that you see,
and it will be yours forever. |
|
13:16 I am going to
give you so many descendants that no one will be able to count them all; it
would be as easy to count all the specks of dust on earth! |
|
13:17 Now, go and
look over the whole land, because I am going to give it all to you." |
|
13:18 So Abram moved
his camp and settled near the sacred trees of Mamre
at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the LORD. |
