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 (KJVS)
[1] And Abram H87 went up H5927 (QalImpf) out of Egypt, H4714 he, and his wife, H802 and all that he had, and Lot H3876 with him, into the south. H5045
[2] And Abram H87 was very H3966 rich H3513 (QalPerf) in cattle, H4735 in silver, H3701 and in gold. H2091
[3] And he went H3212 (QalImpf) on his journeys H4550 from the south H5045 even to Beth-el, H1008 unto the place H4725 where his tent H168 had been H1961 (QalPerf) at the beginning, H8462 between Beth-el H1008 and Hai; H5857
[4] unto the place H4725 of the altar, H4196 which he had made H6213 (QalPerf) there at the first: H7223 and there Abram H87 called H7121 (QalImpf) on the name H8034 of the Lord. H3068
[5] And Lot H3876 also, which went H1980 (QalActPtc) with H854 Abram, H87 had flocks, H6629 and herds, H1241 and tents. H168
[6] And the land H776 was not able to bear H5375 (QalPerf) them, that they might dwell H3427 (QalInf) together: H3162 for their substance H7399 was great, H7227 so that they could H3201 (QalPerf) not dwell H3427 (QalInf) together. H3162
[7] And there was a strife H7379 between the herdmen H7462 (QalActPtc) of Abram’s H87 cattle H4735 and the herdmen H7462 (QalActPtc) of Lot’s H3876 cattle: H4735 and the Canaanite H3669 and the Perizzite H6522 dwelled H3427 (QalActPtc) then in the land. H776
[8] And Abram H87 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Lot, H3876 Let there be H1961 (QalImpf) no H408 strife, H4808 I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen H7462 (QalActPtc) and thy herdmen; H7462 (QalActPtc) for we H582 be brethren.§ H251
[9] Is not the whole land H776 before thee? H6440 separate thyself, H6504 (NiphImpv) I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, H8040 then I will go to the right; H3231 (HiphImpf) or if thou depart to the right hand, H3225 then I will go to the left. H8041 (HiphImpf)
[10] And Lot H3876 lifted up H5375 (QalImpf) his eyes, H5869 and beheld H7200 (QalImpf) all the plain H3603 of Jordan, H3383 that it was well watered H4945 every where, before H6440 the Lord H3068 destroyed H7843 (PielInf) Sodom H5467 and Gomorrah, H6017 even as the garden H1588 of the Lord, H3068 like the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 as thou comest H935 (QalInf) unto Zoar. H6820
[11] Then Lot H3876 chose H977 (QalImpf) him all the plain H3603 of Jordan; H3383 and Lot H3876 journeyed H5265 (QalImpf) east: H6924 and they separated themselves H6504 (NiphImpf) the one H376 from the other. H251
[12] Abram H87 dwelled H3427 (QalPerf) in the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 and Lot H3876 dwelled H3427 (QalPerf) in the cities H5892 of the plain, H3603 and pitched his tent H167 (QalImpf) toward H5704 Sodom. H5467
[13] But the men H582 of Sodom H5467 were wicked H7451 and sinners H2400 before the Lord H3068 exceedingly. H3966
[14] And the Lord H3068 said H559 (QalPerf) unto Abram, H87 after H310 that Lot H3876 was separated H6504 (NiphInf) from him, Lift up H5375 (QalImpv) now thine eyes, H5869 and look H7200 (QalImpv) from the place H4725 where thou art northward, H6828 and southward, H5045 and eastward, H6924 and westward: H3220
[15] for all the land H776 which thou seest, H7200 (QalActPtc) to thee will I give it, H5414 (QalImpf) and to thy seed H2233 for H5704 ever. H5769
[16] And I will make H7760 (QalPerf) thy seed H2233 as the dust H6083 of the earth: H776 so that H834 if a man H376 can H3201 (QalImpf) number H4487 (QalInf) the dust H6083 of the earth, H776 then shall thy seed H2233 also be numbered. H4487 (NiphImpf)
[17] Arise, H6965 (QalImpv) walk H1980 (HithImpv) through the land H776 in the length H753 of it and in the breadth H7341 of it; for I will give H5414 (QalImpf) it unto thee.
[18] Then Abram H87 removed his tent, H167 (QalImpf) and came H935 (QalImpf) and dwelt H3427 (QalImpf) in the plain§ H436 of Mamre, H4471 which is in Hebron, H2275 and built H1129 (QalImpf) there an altar H4196 unto the Lord. H3068

Genesis 13 (BYZ)
[1] ανεβη δε αβραμ εξ αιγυπτου αυτος και η γυνη αυτου και παντα τα αυτου και λωτ μετ αυτου εις την ερημον
[2] αβραμ δε ην πλουσιος σφοδρα κτηνεσιν και αργυριω και χρυσιω
[3] και επορευθη οθεν ηλθεν εις την ερημον εως βαιθηλ εως του τοπου ου ην η σκηνη αυτου το προτερον ανα μεσον βαιθηλ και ανα μεσον αγγαι
[4] εις τον τοπον του θυσιαστηριου ου εποιησεν εκει την αρχην και επεκαλεσατο εκει αβραμ το ονομα κυριου
[5] και λωτ τω συμπορευομενω μετα αβραμ ην προβατα και βοες και σκηναι
[6] και ουκ εχωρει αυτους η γη κατοικειν αμα οτι ην τα υπαρχοντα αυτων πολλα και ουκ εδυναντο κατοικειν αμα
[7] και εγενετο μαχη ανα μεσον των ποιμενων των κτηνων του αβραμ και ανα μεσον των ποιμενων των κτηνων του λωτ οι δε χαναναιοι και οι φερεζαιοι τοτε κατωκουν την γην
[8] ειπεν δε αβραμ τω λωτ μη εστω μαχη ανα μεσον εμου και σου και ανα μεσον των ποιμενων μου και ανα μεσον των ποιμενων σου οτι ανθρωποι αδελφοι ημεις εσμεν
[9] ουκ ιδου πασα η γη εναντιον σου εστιν διαχωρισθητι απ εμου ει συ εις αριστερα εγω εις δεξια ει δε συ εις δεξια εγω εις αριστερα
[10] και επαρας λωτ τους οφθαλμους αυτου ειδεν πασαν την περιχωρον του ιορδανου οτι πασα ην ποτιζομενη προ του καταστρεψαι τον θεον σοδομα και γομορρα ως ο παραδεισος του θεου και ως η γη αιγυπτου εως ελθειν εις ζογορα
[11] και εξελεξατο εαυτω λωτ πασαν την περιχωρον του ιορδανου και απηρεν λωτ απο ανατολων και διεχωρισθησαν εκαστος απο του αδελφου αυτου
[12] αβραμ δε κατωκησεν εν γη χανααν λωτ δε κατωκησεν εν πολει των περιχωρων και εσκηνωσεν εν σοδομοις
[13] οι δε ανθρωποι οι εν σοδομοις πονηροι και αμαρτωλοι εναντιον του θεου σφοδρα
[14] ο δε θεος ειπεν τω αβραμ μετα το διαχωρισθηναι τον λωτ απ αυτου αναβλεψας τοις οφθαλμοις σου ιδε απο του τοπου ου νυν συ ει προς βορραν και λιβα και ανατολας και θαλασσαν
[15] οτι πασαν την γην ην συ ορας σοι δωσω αυτην και τω σπερματι σου εως του αιωνος
[16] και ποιησω το σπερμα σου ως την αμμον της γης ει δυναται τις εξαριθμησαι την αμμον της γης και το σπερμα σου εξαριθμηθησεται
[17] αναστας διοδευσον την γην εις τε το μηκος αυτης και εις το πλατος οτι σοι δωσω αυτην
[18] και αποσκηνωσας αβραμ ελθων κατωκησεν παρα την δρυν την μαμβρη η ην εν χεβρων και ωκοδομησεν εκει θυσιαστηριον κυριω
