GEN 13:1 And Abram goeth up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he hath, and Lot with him) towards the south;

GEN 13:2 and Abram `is' exceedingly wealthy in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

GEN 13:3 And he goeth on his journeyings from the south, even unto Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the commencement, between Bethel and Hai --

GEN 13:4 unto the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there doth Abram preach in the name of Jehovah.

GEN 13:5 And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there hath been sheep and oxen and tents;

GEN 13:6 and the land hath not suffered them to dwell together, for their substance hath been much, and they have not been able to dwell together;

GEN 13:7 and there is a strife between those feeding Abram's cattle and those feeding Lot's cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite `are' then dwelling in the land.

GEN 13:8 And Abram saith unto Lot, `Let there not, I pray thee, be strife between me and thee, and between my shepherds and thy shepherds, for we `are' men -- brethren.

GEN 13:9 Is not all the land before thee? be parted, I pray thee, from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I to the left.'

GEN 13:10 And Lot lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the whole circuit of the Jordan that it `is' all a watered country (before Jehovah's destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, as Jehovah's garden, as the land of Egypt,) in thy coming toward Zoar,

GEN 13:11 and Lot chooseth for himself the whole circuit of the Jordan; and Lot journeyeth from the east, and they are parted -- a man from his companion;

GEN 13:12 Abram hath dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot hath dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and tenteth unto Sodom;

GEN 13:13 and the men of Sodom `are' evil, and sinners before Jehovah exceedingly.

GEN 13:14 And Jehovah said unto Abram, after Lot's being parted from him, `Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and look from the place where thou `art', northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward;

GEN 13:15 for the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed -- to the age.

GEN 13:16 And I have set thy seed as dust of the earth, so that, if one is able to number the dust of the earth, even thy seed is numbered;

GEN 13:17 rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to thee I give it.'

GEN 13:18 And Abram tenteth, and cometh, and dwelleth among the oaks of Mamre, which `are' in Hebron, and buildeth there an altar to Jehovah.
