Genesis 13

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 Then Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev-he, his wife, and all he had, and Lot with him.

2 Abram was very rich in livestock, silver, and gold.

3 He went by stages from the Negev to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had formerly been,

4 to the site where he had built the altar. And Abram worshiped the Lord there.

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

6 But the land was unable to support them as long as they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they could not stay together,

7 and there was quarreling between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land.

8 Then Abram said to Lot, "Please, let's not have quarreling between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, since we are relatives.

9 Isn't the whole land before you? Separate from me: if [you go] to the left, I will go to the right; if [you go] to the right, I will go to the left."

10 Lot looked out and saw that the entire Jordan Valley as far as Zoar was well-watered everywhere like the Lord's garden and the land of Egypt. This was before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.

11 So Lot chose the entire Jordan Valley for himself. Then Lot journeyed eastward, and they separated from each other.

12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, but Lot lived in the cities of the valley and set up his tent near Sodom.

13 Now the men of Sodom were evil, sinning greatly against the Lord.

14 After Lot had separated from him, the Lord said to Abram, "Look from the place where you are. Look north and south, east and west,

15 for I will give you and your offspring forever all the land that you see.

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

17 Get up and walk from one end of the land to the other, for I will give it to you."

18 So Abram moved his tent and went to live beside the oaks of Mamre at Hebron, where he built an altar to the Lord.

English Standard Version ESV

1 So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the Negeb.

2 Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

3 And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

4 to the place where he had made an altar at the first. And there Abram called upon the name of the Lord.

5 And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents,

6 so that the land could not support both of them dwelling together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together,

7 and there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were dwelling in the land.

8 Then Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, for we are kinsmen.

9 Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right, or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left. ”

10 And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the Jordan Valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. )

11 So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley, and Lot journeyed east. Thus they separated from each other.

12 Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

13 Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the Lord.

14 The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,

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

16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted.

17 Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you. ”

18 So Abram moved his tent and came and settled by the oaks of Mamre, which are at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the Lord.
