Genesis 13
13
Abram and Lot
1So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him. 2Abram was very wealthy in livestock, in silver, and in gold. # Ge 24:35; Ps 112:1–3
3He continued on his journey from the Negev and came to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, 4to the place where he first made an altar. # Ge 12:7–8 There Abram called on the name of the Lord.
5Now Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents. 6But the land was not able to support them both dwelling together, because their possessions were so great. # Ge 36:6–7 7And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. # Ge 26:20 The Canaanites and the Perizzites dwelt in the land at that time. # Ge 12:6
8So Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife, I ask you, between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are close relatives. # Ex 2:13; Ps 133:1 9Is not the whole land before you? # Ge 20:15; 34:10 Please separate from me. If you will go to the left, then I will go to the right, or if you take the right, then I will go to the left.”
10Lot lifted up his eyes, and looked at all the valley of the Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go to Zoar. # Dt 34:3 This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. # Ge 14:2, 8 11Then Lot chose for himself the entire valley of the Jordan and journeyed east, and the two of them separated from each other. 12Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the valley # Ge 19:29 and pitched his tent as far as Sodom. # Ge 14:12 13Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against the Lord. # Ge 18:20
14After Lot had departed from him, the Lord said to Abram, “Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward. # Ge 28:14; Dt 3:27 15All the land that you see I will give to you and to your descendants forever. # Ge 12:7; 2Ch 20:7 16I will make your descendants like the dust of the earth, so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants could also be numbered. # Ge 28:14; Nu 23:10 17Arise, and walk throughout the land across its length and its width, for I will give it to you.”
18So Abram moved his tent and came and settled by the oaks of Mamre, # Ge 14:13 which are in Hebron, # Ge 23:2, 19; 2Sa 2:1 and built an altar to the Lord there. # Ge 8:20
