13:1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and
his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the wilderness.
13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, and silver, and gold.
13:3 And he went [to the place] whence he came, into the wilderness as far
as Baethel, as far as the place where his tent was before, between Baethel
and Aggai,
13:4 to the place of the altar, which he built there at first, and Abram
there called on the name of Yehovah.
13:5 And Lot who went out with Abram had sheep, and oxen, and tents.
13:6 And the land was not large enough for them to live together, because
their possessions were great; and the land was not large enough for them to
live together.
13:7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle, and the
herdmen of Lot's cattle, and the Canaanites and the Pherezites then
inhabited the land.
13:8 And Abram said to Lot, Let there not be a strife between me and thee,
and between my herdmen and thy herdmen, for we are brethren.
13:9 Lo! is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself from me; if
thou [goest] to the left, I will go to the right, and if thou goest to the
right, I will go to the left.
13:10 And Lot having lifted up his eyes, observed all the country round
about Jordan, that it was all watered, before Elohim overthrew Sodom and
Gomorrha, as the garden of Yehovah, and as the land of Egypt, until thou
come to Zogora.
13:11 And Lot chose for himself all the country round Jordan, and Lot went
from the east, and they were separated each from his brother. And Abram
dwelt in the land of Chanaan.
13:12 And Lot dwelt in a city of the neighbouring people, and pitched his
tent in Sodom.
13:13 But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before Elohim.
13:14 And Elohim said to Abram after Lot was separated from him, Look up with
thine eyes, and behold from the place where thou now art northward and
southward, and eastward and seaward;
13:15 for all the land which thou seest, I will give it to thee and to thy
seed for ever.
13:16 And I will make thy seed like the dust of the earth; if any one is
able to number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed be numbered.
13:17 Arise and traverse the land, both in the length of it and in the
breadth; for to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
13:18 And Abram having removed his tent, came and dwelt by the oak of Mambre,
which was in Chebrom, and he there built an altar to Yehovah. |
13:1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and
his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
13:3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the
place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
13:4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first: and
there Abram called on the name of Yehovah.
13:5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
13:6 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.
13:7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the
herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in
the land.
13:8 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.
13:9 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.
13:10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that
it was well watered every where, before Yehovah destroyed Sodom and
Gomorrah, even as the garden of Yehovah, like the land of Egypt, as thou
comest unto Zoar.
13:11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east:
and they separated themselves the one from the other.
13:12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of
the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13:13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before Yehovah
exceedingly.
13:14 And Yehovah 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:
13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy
seed for ever.
13:16 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.
13:17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of
it; for I will give it unto thee.
13:18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre,
which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto Yehovah. |
