Genesis 13 (WEBP)

[1] Abram went up out of Egypt—he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him—into the South.
[2] Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
[3] He went on his journeys from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
[4] to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on Yahweh’s name.
[5] Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, herds, and tents.
[6] The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their possessions were so great that they couldn’t live together.
[7] There was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land at that time.
[8] Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are relatives.
[9] Isn’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.”
[10] Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.
[11] So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves from one other.
[12] Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
[13] Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.
[14] Yahweh 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,
[15] for I will give all the land which you see to you and to your offspring forever.
[16] I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring may also be counted.
[17] Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its width; for I will give it to you.”
[18] Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.

Genesis 13 (YLT)

[1] And Abram goeth up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he hath, and Lot with him) towards the south;
[2] and Abram is exceedingly wealthy in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
[3] And he goeth on his journeyings from the south, even unto Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the commencement, between Bethel and Hai-
[4] unto the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there doth Abram preach in the name of Jehovah.
[5] And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there hath been sheep and oxen and tents;
[6] and the land hath not suffered them to dwell together, for their substance hath been much, and they have not been able to dwell together;
[7] and there is a strife between those feeding Abram’s cattle and those feeding Lot’s cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite are then dwelling in the land.
[8] And Abram saith unto Lot, ‘Let there not, I pray thee, be strife between me and thee, and between my shepherds and thy shepherds, for we are men-brethren.
[9] Is not all the land before thee? be parted, I pray thee, from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I to the left.’
[10] And Lot lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the whole circuit of the Jordan that it is all a watered country (before Jehovah’s destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, as Jehovah’s garden, as the land of Egypt,) in thy coming toward Zoar,
[11] and Lot chooseth for himself the whole circuit of the Jordan; and Lot journeyeth from the east, and they are parted-a man from his companion;
[12] Abram hath dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot hath dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and tenteth unto Sodom;
[13] and the men of Sodom are evil, and sinners before Jehovah exceedingly.
[14] And Jehovah said unto Abram, after Lot’s being parted from him, ‘Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward;
[15] for the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed-to the age.
[16] And I have set thy seed as dust of the earth, so that, if one is able to number the dust of the earth, even thy seed is numbered;
[17] rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to thee I give it.’
[18] And Abram tenteth, and cometh, and dwelleth among the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and buildeth there an altar to Jehovah.
