LXX 1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the wilderness. NIV 1 So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, with his wife and everything he had, and Lot went with him. LXX 2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, and silver, and gold. NIV 2 Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold. LXX 3 And he went whence he came, into the wilderness as far as Baethel, as far as the place where his tent was before, between Baethel and Aggai, NIV 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 LXX 4 to the place of the altar, which he built there at first, and Abram there called on the name of the Lord. NIV 4 and where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the LORD. LXX 5 And Lot who went out with Abram had sheep, and oxen, and tents. NIV 5 Now Lot, who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents. LXX 6 And the land was not large enough for them to live together, because their possessions were great; and the land was not large enough for them to live together. NIV 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. LXX 7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle, and the herdmen of Lot's cattle, and the Chananites and the Pherezites then inhabited the land. NIV 7 And quarreling arose between Abram’s herders and Lot’s. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time. LXX 8 And Abram said to Lot, Let there not be a strife between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen, for we are brethren. NIV 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. LXX 9 Lo! is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself from me; if thou to the left, I will go to the right, and if thou goest to the right, I will go to the left. NIV 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.” LXX 10 And Lot having lifted up his eyes, observed all the country round about Jordan, that it was all watered, before God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, as the garden of the Lord, and as the land of Egypt, until thou come to Zogora. NIV 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.) LXX 11 And Lot chose for himself all the country round Jordan, and Lot went from the east, and they were separated each from his brother. And Abram dwelt in the land of Chanaan. NIV 11 So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company: LXX 12 And Lot dwelt in a city of the neighbouring people, and pitched his tent in Sodom. NIV 12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom. LXX 13 But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God. NIV 13 Now the people of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD. LXX 14 And God said to Abram after Lot was separated from him, Look up with thine eyes, and behold from the place where thou now art northward and southward, and eastward and seaward; NIV 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. LXX 15 for all the land which thou seest, I will give it to thee and to thy seed for ever. NIV 15 All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever. LXX 16 And I will make thy seed like the dust of the earth; if any one is able to number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed be numbered. NIV 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. LXX 17 Arise and traverse the land, both in the length of it and in the breadth; for to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. NIV 17 Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you.” LXX 18 And Abram having removed his tent, came and dwelt by the oak of Mambre, which was in Chebrom, and he there built an altar to the Lord. NIV 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.
