Genesis 13:1

1And Abram went vp out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and
Lot with him, into the South.
2And Abram was very rich in cattell, in siluer, and in gold.
3And hee went on his iourneyes from the South, euen to Beth-el, vnto the
place where his tent had bene at the beginning, betweene Beth-el and Hai:
4Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there
Abram called on the Name of the LORD.
5¶ And Lot also which went with Abram, had flocks and heards, & tents.
6And the land was not able to beare them, that they might dwell together:
for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
7And there was a strife betweene the heardmen of Abrams cattell, and the
heardmen of Lots cattell: And the Canaanite, and the Perizzite dwelled then
in the land.
8And Abram said vnto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, betweene mee
and thee, and betweene my heardmen and thy heardmen: for wee bee
brethren.
9Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thy selfe, I pray thee, from
mee: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will goe to the right: or if thou
depart to the right hand, then I will goe to the left.
10And Lot lifted vp his eyes, and beheld all the plaine of Iordane, that it was
well watered euery where before the Lord destroyed Sodome and Gomorah,
euen as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou commest
vnto Zoar.
11Then Lot chose him all the plaine of Iordane: and Lot iourneyed East; and
they separated themselues the one from the other.
12Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the
plaine, and pitched his tent toward Sodome.
13But the men of Sodome were wicked, and sinners before the LORD
exceedingly.
14¶ And the LORD said vnto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him,
Lift vp now thine eyes, and looke from the place where thou art, Northward,
and Southward, and Eastward, and Westward.
15For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seede
for euer.
16And I will make thy seede as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can
number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbred.
17Arise, walke through the land, in the length of it, and in the breadth of it:
for I will giue it vnto thee.
18Then Abram remoued his tent, and came and dwelt in the plaine of
Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar vnto the LORD.
