1	And Abram went up# out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
			2	And Abram was very rich# in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
			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;
			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, which 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 great, so that they could# not dwell# together.
			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.
			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. [brethren: Heb. men 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 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.
			11	Then Lot chose# him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed# east: and they separated themselves# the one from the other.
			12	Abram dwelled# in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled# in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent# toward Sodom.
			13	But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
			14	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:
			15	For all the land which thou seest# , to thee will I give it# , and to thy seed for ever.
			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# .
			17	Arise# , walk# through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give# it unto thee.
			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 the LORD. [plain: Heb. plains]
