Genesis Chapter 13    

¹Abram went up out of Egypt, he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him, into the Negev.
  ²Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
  ³He went on his journeys from Negev even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
  ⁴to the place of the altar that he had made there at the first. Abram called on the name of Yahweh there.
 

⁵Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents.
  ⁶The land was not able to bear them when they lived together; for their possessions were so great that they could not live together.
  ⁷And there were quarrels between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock, and the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time.
 

⁸Abram said to Lot, “Please, do not let there be any quarrels between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are relatives.
  ⁹Isn’t the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right, or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left.”
 

¹⁰Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt as you go to Zoar. (This was before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah).
  ¹¹So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself and Lot traveled east. So they separated themselves from each other.
  ¹²Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain and moved his tent near Sodom.
  ¹³Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.
 

¹⁴Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, “Now, lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
  ¹⁵for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.
  ¹⁶I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then your seed may also be numbered.
  ¹⁷Arise, walk through the land; through its length and its width, for I will give it to you.”
 

¹⁸Abram moved his tent and went and lived by the oaks of Mamre that are in Hebron, and built an altar to Yahweh there.
