CHAP. XIII.
1 Abram and Lot return out of Egypt: 7 By
disagreement they part asunder. 10 Lot goeth
to wicked Sodom. 14 God reneweth the
promise to Abram: 18 He removeth to Hebron,
and there raiseth an altar.
1 And Abram returned from Egypt,
he, and his wife, and all that he had,
and Lot with him, into the south.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle,
in silver, and in gold.
3 And he went on his journeys from
the south even to Beth-el, to the place
where his tent had been at the beginning,
between Beth-el and Hai;
4 To the note 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, who went with Abram,
had flocks, and herds, and tents.
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.
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 dwelt then in the land.
8 And Abram said to Lot, Let there
be no strife, I pray thee, between me and
thee, and between my herdmen and thy
herdmen; for we are note brethren.
9 Is not the whole land before thee?
Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me:
if thou will take the left hand, then I will
go to the right; or if thou will depart to
the right hand, then I will go to the left.
10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld
all the plain of Jordan, that it was
well watered every where, before the
Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah,
even as the garden of the Lord, like the
land of Egypt, as thou comest to Zoar.
11 Then Lot chose him all the plain
of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and
they separated themselves the one from
the other.
12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan,
and Lot dwelt in the cities of the
plain, and pitched his tent towards Sodom.
13 But the men of Sodom were wicked,
and sinners before the Lord, exceedingly.
14 ¶2; And the Lord said to Abram,
after Lot was separated from him, Lift
up now thine eyes, and look from the
place where thou art, northward, and
southward, and eastward, and westward:
15 For all the land which thou seest,
note to thee will I give it, and to thy seed
for ever.
16 And I will make thy seed as the
dust of the earth: so that if a man can
number the dust of the earth, then shall
thy seed also be numbered.
17 Arise, walk through the land in the
length of it and in the breadth of it; for
I will give it to thee.
18 Then Abram removed his tent, and
came and dwelt in the note plain of Mamre,
which is in Hebron, and built there an
altar to the Lord.
