Abram
and Lot |
|
|
 |
|
Genesis 13:1
|
|
So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, he
and his wife and all that belonged to him, and Lot with him. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 13:2
|
|
Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver
and in gold. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 13:3
|
|
He went on his journeys from the Negev as far
as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel
and Ai, |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 13:4
|
|
to the place of the altar which he had made
there formerly; and there Abram called on the name of the LORD. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 13:5
|
|
Now Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks
and herds and tents. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 13:6
|
|
And the land could not sustain them while dwelling
together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to remain
together. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 13:7
|
|
And there was strife between the herdsmen of
Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. Now the Canaanite and the
Perizzite were dwelling then in the land. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 13:8
|
|
So Abram said to Lot, "Please let there be no
strife between you and me, nor between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are
brothers. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 13:9
|
|
"Is not the whole land before you? Please separate
from me; if to the left, then I will go to the right; or if to the right, then
I will go to the left." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 13:10
|
|
Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the valley
of the Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere--this was before the LORD destroyed
Sodom and Gomorrah--like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you
go to Zoar. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 13:11
|
|
So Lot chose for himself all the valley of the
Jordan, and Lot journeyed eastward. Thus they separated from each other. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 13:12
|
|
Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot
settled in the cities of the valley, and moved his tents as far as Sodom. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 13:13
|
|
Now the men of Sodom were wicked exceedingly
and sinners against the LORD. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 13:14
|
|
The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated
from him, "Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward
and southward and eastward and westward; |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 13:15
|
|
for all the land which you see, I will give
it to you and to your descendants forever. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 13:16
|
|
"I will make your descendants as the dust of
the earth, so that if anyone can number the dust of the earth, then your descendants
can also be numbered. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 13:17
|
|
"Arise, walk about the land through its length
and breadth; for I will give it to you." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 13:18
|
|
Then Abram moved his tent and came and dwelt
by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and there he built an altar to the
LORD. |
