(KJV) Genesis 13¹

⥃Abram and Lot Part Ways

[1] And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south².³ [2] And Abram [was] very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.⁴ [3] And he went on his journeys from⁵ the south even to Beth–el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth–el and Hai⁶; [4] Unto⁷ the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called⁸ on the name of the Lord.

[5] And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents⁹. [6] 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.¹⁰ [7] And there was a strife¹¹ between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite¹² and the Perizzite dwelled¹³ then in the land. [8] And Abram said unto Lot, Let¹⁴ there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we [be] brethren¹⁵¹⁶. [9] [Is] not¹⁷ the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if [thou wilt¹⁸ take] the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if [thou depart] to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

⥃Lot Proceeds toward Sodom

[10] And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld¹⁹ all the plain²⁰ of Jordan, that it [was] well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, [even] as the garden²¹ of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar²². [11] Then Lot chose²³ him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they²⁴ separated themselves the one from the other.²⁵ [12] Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled²⁶ in the cities of the plain, and pitched²⁷ [his] tent toward Sodom. [13] But the²⁸ men of Sodom [were] wicked and sinners before²⁹ the Lord exceedingly.

⥃God Renews the Promise to Abram

[14] And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was³⁰ separated from him, Lift³¹ up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward³², and southward, and eastward, and westward: [15] For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.³³ [16] 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] shall thy seed also be numbered.³⁴ [17] Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee. [18] Then Abram removed [his] tent, and came and dwelt in the plain³⁵ of Mamre³⁶, which [is] in Hebron³⁷, and built there an altar³⁸ unto the Lord.
