Genesis 13

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 Thus Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had and Lot with him into the Negev.

2 And Abram <em>was</em> very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

3 And he retraced his journeys from <em>the side of</em> the Negev 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, who 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 so great that they could not dwell together.

7 And there was a strife between the pastors of Abram’s cattle and the pastors of Lot’s cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.

8 Then Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee and between my pastors and thine, for we <em>are</em> brethren.

9 <em>Is</em> not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me; if <em>thou wilt take</em> the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if <em>thou depart</em> to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

10 And Lot lifted up his eyes and beheld all the plain of the Jordan that it <em>was</em> well watered everywhere, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, <em>even</em> as <em>a</em> garden of the LORD like the land of Egypt as thou comest unto Zoar.

11 Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan, and Lot journeyed east; and they separated themselves the one from the other.

12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched <em>his</em> tents toward Sodom.

13 But the men of Sodom <em>were</em> wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after Lot separated himself from him, Lift up now thine eyes and look from the place where thou art towards the Aquilon {the land of the north wind} and to the Negev {the south desert} and to the east and to the west;

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 someone could number the dust of the earth, <em>then</em> 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 must give it unto thee.

18 Then Abram removed <em>his</em> tent and came and dwelt among the terebinth {or mighty} trees of Mamre, which <em>is</em> in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.

New International Version NIV

1 So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, with his wife and everything he had, and Lot went with him.

2 Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold.

3 From the Negev he went from place to place until he came to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had been earlier

4 and where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the LORD.

5 Now Lot, who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.

6 But the land could not support them while they stayed together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay together.

7 And quarreling arose between Abram’s herders and Lot’s. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time.

8 So Abram said to Lot, “Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me, or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives.

9 Is not the whole land before you? Let’s part company. If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right; if you go to the right, I’ll go to the left.”

10 Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan toward Zoar was well watered, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)

11 So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company:

12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom.

13 Now the people of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

14 The LORD said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, “Look around from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west.

15 All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever.

16 I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted.

17 Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you.”

18 So Abram went to live near the great trees of Mamre at Hebron, where he pitched his tents. There he built an altar to the LORD.
