Genesis 13

The Message Bible MSG

1 So Abram left Egypt and went back to the Negev, he and his wife and everything he owned, and Lot still with him.

2 By now Abram was very rich, loaded with cattle and silver and gold.

3 He moved on from the Negev, camping along the way, to Bethel, the place he had first set up his tent between Bethel and Ai

4 and built his first altar. Abram prayed there to God.

5 Lot, who was traveling with Abram, was also rich in sheep and cattle and tents.

6 But the land couldn't support both of them; they had too many possessions. They couldn't both live there -

7 quarrels broke out between Abram's shepherds and Lot's shepherds. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living on the land at the time.

8 Abram said to Lot, "Let's not have fighting between us, between your shepherds and my shepherds. After all, we're family.

9 Look around. Isn't there plenty of land out there? Let's separate. If you go left, I'll go right; if you go right, I'll go left."

10 Lot looked. He saw the whole plain of the Jordan spread out, well watered (this was before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah), like God's garden, like Egypt, and stretching all the way to Zoar.

11 Lot took the whole plain of the Jordan. Lot set out to the east.

12 Abram settled in Canaan; Lot settled in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent near Sodom.

13 The people of Sodom were evil - flagrant sinners against God.

14 After Lot separated from him, God said to Abram, "Open your eyes, look around. Look north, south, east, and west.

15 Everything you see, the whole land spread out before you, I will give to you and your children forever.

16 I'll make your descendants like dust - counting your descendants will be as impossible as counting the dust of the Earth.

17 So - on your feet, get moving! Walk through the country, its length and breadth; I'm giving it all to you."

18 Abram moved his tent. He went and settled by the Oaks of Mamre in Hebron. There he built an altar to God.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 ascendit ergo Abram de Aegypto ipse et uxor eius et omnia quae habebat et Loth cum eo ad australem plagam

2 erat autem dives valde in possessione argenti et auri

3 reversusque est per iter quo venerat a meridie in Bethel usque ad locum ubi prius fixerat tabernaculum inter Bethel et Ai

4 in loco altaris quod fecerat prius et invocavit ibi nomen Domini

5 sed et Loth qui erat cum Abram fuerunt greges ovium et armenta et tabernacula

6 nec poterat eos capere terra ut habitarent simul erat quippe substantia eorum multa et non quibant habitare communiter

7 unde et facta est rixa inter pastores gregum Abram et Loth eo autem tempore Chananeus et Ferezeus habitabant in illa terra

8 dixit ergo Abram ad Loth ne quaeso sit iurgium inter me et te et inter pastores meos et pastores tuos fratres enim sumus

9 ecce universa terra coram te est recede a me obsecro si ad sinistram ieris ego ad dexteram tenebo si tu dexteram elegeris ego ad sinistram pergam

10 elevatis itaque Loth oculis vidit omnem circa regionem Iordanis quae universa inrigabatur antequam subverteret Dominus Sodomam et Gomorram sicut paradisus Domini et sicut Aegyptus venientibus in Segor

11 elegitque sibi Loth regionem circa Iordanem et recessit ab oriente divisique sunt alterutrum a fratre suo

12 Abram habitavit in terra Chanaan Loth moratus est in oppidis quae erant circa Iordanem et habitavit in Sodomis

13 homines autem Sodomitae pessimi erant et peccatores coram Domino nimis

14 dixitque Dominus ad Abram postquam divisus est Loth ab eo leva oculos tuos et vide a loco in quo nunc es ad aquilonem et ad meridiem ad orientem et ad occidentem

15 omnem terram quam conspicis tibi dabo et semini tuo usque in sempiternum

16 faciamque semen tuum sicut pulverem terrae si quis potest hominum numerare pulverem semen quoque tuum numerare poterit

17 surge et perambula terram in longitudine et in latitudine sua quia tibi daturus sum eam

18 movens igitur Abram tabernaculum suum venit et habitavit iuxta convallem Mambre quod est in Hebron aedificavitque ibi altare Domino
