Genesis:13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Abram went up out of Egypt ,
he ,
and his wife ,
and all that he had ,
and Lot with him ,
into the south .
*
And Abram was very rich in cattle ,
in silver ,
and in gold .
*
And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel Beyth -#
El #,
unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning ,
between Bethel Beyth -#
El #
and Hai ;
*
Unto the place of the altar ,
which he had made there at the first ri #
shown #:
and there Abram called on the name of the LORD .
*
And Lot also ,
which went with Abram ,
had flocks tso #
n #,
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 Abrams cattle and the herdmen of Lots 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 s @
mo #
wl #,
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 Tso #
ar #.
*
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 K @
na #
an #,
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 m @#
od #.
*
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 :
*
For all the land which thou seest ,
to thee will I give it ,
and to thy seed for ever .
*
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 .
*
Arise ,
walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it ;
for I will give it unto thee .
*
Then Abram removed his tent ,
and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre ,
which is in Hebron ,
and built there an altar unto the LORD .
