*
And Lot also ,
which went with Abram ,
had flocks ,
and herds ,
and tents .
*
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 .
*
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 dwelled then in the land .
*
And Abram said unto Lot ,
Let there be no strife ,
I pray thee ,
between me and thee ,
and between my herdmen and thy herdmen ;
for we be brethren .
*
Is not the whole land before thee ?
separate thyself ,
I pray thee ,
from me :
if thou wilt take the left hand ,
then I will go to the right ;
or if thou depart to the right hand ,
then I will go to the left .

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 unto Zoar .
*
Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan ;
and Lot journeyed east :
and they separated themselves the one from the other .
*
Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan ,
and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain ,
and pitched his tent toward Sodom .
*
But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly .
*
And the LORD said unto Abram ,
after that 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 :
