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