1So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had and Lot with him, into the Negeb.[#Gen 12.9]
2Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
3He journeyed on by stages from the Negeb as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,[#Gen 12.8, 9]
4to the place where he had made an altar at the first, and there Abram called on the name of the Lord .[#Gen 12.7, 8]
5Now Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents,
6and the land could not support both of them living together because their possessions were so great that they could not live together.
7Thus strife arose between the herders of Abram’s livestock and the herders of Lot’s livestock. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land.[#Gen 26.20]
8Then Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me and between your herders and my herders, for we are kindred.[#Prov 15.18; 20.3]
9Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right, or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left.”
10Lot looked about him and saw that the plain of the Jordan was well watered everywhere like the garden of the Lord , like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar; this was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.[#Gen 19.17–29; Deut 2.8; 14.8]
11So Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan, and Lot journeyed eastward, and they separated from each other.
12Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the plain and moved his tent as far as Sodom.[#Gen 19.29]
13Now the people of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the Lord .[#Gen 18.20; 2 Pet 2.7, 8]
14The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Raise your eyes now, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,[#Gen 28.14; Deut 3.27]
15for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.[#Gen 12.7; 17.8; Deut 34.4; 2 Chr 20.7; Acts 7.5]
16I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted.[#Gen 16.10; 28.14]
17Rise up, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.”[#Num 13.17–24]
18So Abram moved his tent and came and settled by the oaks of Mamre, which are at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the Lord .[#Gen 14.13; 35.27; #13.18 Or terebinths]
