Genesis 13 — GNV
13Verse 1Then Abram went vp from Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him toward the South.Verse 2And Abram was very rich in cattell, in siluer and in golde.Verse 3And he went on his iourney from ye South toward Beth-el, to the place where his tent had bene at ye beginning, betweene Beth-el and Haai,Verse 4Vnto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the Name of the Lord.Verse 5And Lot also, who went with Abram, had sheepe, and cattell and tentes,Verse 6So that the land coulde not beare them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they coulde not dwell together.Verse 7Also there was debate betweene ye heardmen of Abrams cattell, and the heardmen of Lots cattell. (and the Canaanites and the Perizzites dwelled at that time in the land.)Verse 8Then saide Abram vnto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, betweene thee and me, neither betweene mine heardmen and thine heardmen: for we be brethren.Verse 9Is not the whole land before thee? depart I pray thee from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will goe to the right: or if thou goe to the right hand, then I will take the left.Verse 10So when Lot lifted vp his eyes, he saw that all the plaine of Iorden was watered euery where: (for before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorah, it was as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest vnto Zoar)Verse 11Then Lot chose vnto him all the plaine of Iorden, and tooke his iourney from the East: and they departed the one from the other.Verse 12Abram dwelled in the lande of Canaan, and Lot abode in the cities of the plaine, and pitched his tent euen to Sodom.Verse 13Now the men of Sodom were wicked and exceeding sinners against the Lord.Verse 14Then the Lord saide vnto Abram, (after that Lot was departed from him) Lift vp thine eyes nowe, and looke from the place where thou art, Northward, and Southward, and Eastwarde, and Westward:Verse 15For all the land, which thou seest, will I giue vnto thee and to thy seede for euer,Verse 16And I will make thy seede, as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seede be numbred.Verse 17Arise, walke through the land, in ye length thereof, and breadth thereof: for I will giue it vnto thee.Verse 18Then Abram remoued his tent, and came and dwelled in the plaine of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and builded there an altar vnto ye Lord.
