EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Thus Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had and Lot with him into the Negev. ² And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. ³ And he retraced his journeys from the side of the Negev even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai, ⁴ unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD. ⁵ ¶ And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents. ⁶ And the land was not able to bear them that they might dwell together, for their substance was so great that they could not dwell together. ⁷ And there was a strife between the pastors of Abram’s cattle and the pastors of Lot’s cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land. ⁸ Then Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee and between my pastors and thine, for we are brethren. ⁹ 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. ¹⁰ ¶ And Lot lifted up his eyes and beheld all the plain of the Jordan that it was well watered everywhere, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as a garden of the LORD like the land of Egypt as thou comest unto Zoar. ¹¹ Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan, and Lot journeyed east; and they separated themselves the one from the other.
