*
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 .
*
And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar Shin #
ar #,
Arioch king of Ellasar ,
Chedorlaomer king of Elam ,
and Tidal king of nations ;
*
That these made war with Bera king of Sodom ,
and with Birsha king of Gomorrah ,
Shinab king of Admah ,
and Shemeber king of Zeboiim Ts @
bo #
iym #,
and the king of Bela ,
which is Zoar Tso #
ar #.
*
All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim ,
which is the salt sea .
*
Twelve #
H8147years they served #
Chedorlaomer K @
dorla #
omer #,
and in the thirteenth shalowsh #
year they rebelled .
*
And in the fourteenth #
H702year came Chedorlaomer K @
dorla #
omer #,
and the kings that were with him ,
and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim #
Asht @
roth ,
and the Zuzims in Ham ,
and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim Shaveh ,
*
And the Horites in their mount Seir Se #
iyr #,
unto Elparan #
Eyl Pa #
ran #,
which is by the wilderness .
*
And they returned ,
and came to Enmishpat #
Eyn ,
which is Kadesh ,
and smote all the country of the Amalekites ,
and also the Amorites ,
that dwelt in Hazezontamar Chats @
tsown .
*
And there went out the king of Sodom ,
and the king of Gomorrah ,
and the king of Admah ,
and the king of Zeboiim Ts @
bo #
iym #,
and the king of Bela (
the same is Zoar Tso #
ar #; )
and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim ;
*
With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam ,
and with Tidal king of nations ,
and Amraphel king of Shinar Shin #
ar #,
and Arioch king of Ellasar ;
four kings with five .
*
And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits #
H2564 ;
and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled ,
and fell there ;
and they that remained fled to the mountain .
*
And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah ,
and all their victuals ,
and went their way .
*
And they took Lot ,
Abrams brothers son ,
who dwelt in Sodom ,
and his goods ,
and departed .
*
And there came one that had escaped ,
and told Abram the Hebrew ;
for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite ,
brother of Eshcol ,
and brother of Aner :
and these were confederate #
H1285with Abram .
*
And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive ,
he armed his trained servants ,
born in his own house ,
three hundred and eighteen #
H8083 ,
and pursued them unto Dan .
*
And he divided himself against them ,
he and his servants ,
by night ,
and smote them ,
and pursued them unto Hobah ,
which is on the left hand of Damascus .
*
And he brought back all the goods ,
and also brought again his brother Lot ,
and his goods ,
and the women also ,
and the people .
*
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer K @
dorla #
omer #,
and of the kings that were with him ,
at the valley of Shaveh ,
which is the kings dale .
*
And Melchizedek Malkiy-Tsedeq #
king of Salem brought forth bread and wine :
and he was the priest of the most high God .
*
And he blessed him ,
and said ,
Blessed be Abram of the most high God ,
possessor of heaven and earth :
*
And blessed be the most high God ,
which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand .
And he gave him tithes of all .
*
And the king of Sodom said unto Abram ,
Give me the persons ,
and take the goods to thyself .
*
And Abram said to the king of Sodom ,
I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD ,
the most high God ,
the possessor of heaven and earth ,
*
That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet #
H8288 ,
and that I will not take any thing that is thine ,
lest thou shouldest say ,
I have madeAbram rich :
*
Save only that which the young men have eaten ,
and the portion of the men which went with me ,
Aner ,
Eshcol ,
and Mamre ;
let them take their portion .
*
After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision ,
saying ,
Fear not ,
Abram :
I am thy shield ,
and thy exceeding great reward .
