¶ The .xiij. Chapter.
¶ Abram and Lot departe out of Egypte. And
Abr&abar; deuyded hys lande ∧ catell with Lot hys brothers
sonne. Here agayne is promysed to Abram
the lande of Canaan.
A And so Abram gat him vp out of Egypte,
he ∧ his wyfe, ∧ note all that he had,
∧ Lot wyth hym, towarde the south.
And Abram was very ryche, in catell in syluer
∧ golde. And he wente furth on hys iourney
from the south towarde Bethel, vnto þe;
place where hys tent had bene at the begynnynge,
betwene Bethel ∧ Hai: Euen vnto þe;
place of the note altare which he had made there
at the fyrst, and there Abram called on the
name of the Lorde.
Lot also whych went with Abram had
shepe, cattell ∧ tentes: ∧ the lande was not
able to receaue them that they myght dwell
together, for the note substa&ubar;ce of their ryches
was greate, ∧ they coulde not dwell to gether.
B And there fell a stryfe betwene þe; herdmen
of Abrams catell, ∧ the herdm&ebar; of Lots
catell. Moreouer the note Cananytes and the
Pheresytes dwelled at that tyme in the lande.
Then sayde Abram vnto Lot: Let there
be no stryfe (I praye the) betwene the and
me ∧ note betwene my herdmen and thyne, for
we be &rhand; brethren. Is not all the note hole lande
before the? Departe I praye the fro me.
If thou wilt take the lefte hande, I will go
to the ryght: or yf thou departe to the ryght
hande I will go to the left. And so Lot lyftynge
vp hys eyes, beholde all the contre of
Iordane, which was a plenteous contre of
water euery where, before þe; Lord destroyed
Sodome ∧ Gomorra,
C euen as the garden of
the Lorde, lyke the lande of Egypte as thou
commest vnto Zoar.
Than Lot chose all the playne co&ubar;trey of
Iordane ∧ toke hys iourney from the east.
And so departed the one brother from the
other. Abram dwelled in þe; lande of Canaan:
and Lot abode in the cyties of the playne, ∧
tented vntyll Sodome. But note the men of
Sodome were wicked, and exceadynge synners
before the Lorde.
And the Lorde sayde vnto Abram, after
that Lot was departed from him. Lyfte vp
thyne eyes nowe, ∧ loke fr&obar; the place where
þu; art, northwarde, southwarde, estwarde ∧
westwarde, for all note the lande whyche thou
seeste wyll I geue vnto the and to thy seed
for euer. And I wyll make thy seed, as the
dust of the erth: so that yf a man can nombre
the dust of the erth, than shall thy seed also
be nombred. Aryse and walke about in the
l&abar;de, after the length of it ∧ after the bredth
therof, for I wyll geue it vnto the. And Abram
takynge downe hys tente, came and
dwelled in the okegroue of Mamre, namely
in Ebron, and buylded there an alter vnto
the Lorde.
