Genesis 13:1-9
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 south.
1:
2 And Abram [was] very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
2:
3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
3:
4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
4:
5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
5:
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.
6:
7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
7:
8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we [be] brethren.
8:
9 [Is] not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if [thou wilt 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.
9:
