Abram and Lot Separate
1So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, ainto the Negeb.
2bNow Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3And 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, 4to cthe place where he had made an altar at the first. And there Abram called upon the name of the Lord. 5And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents, 6so that dthe land could not support both of them dwelling together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together, 7eand there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. At that time fthe Canaanites and the Perizzites were dwelling in the land.
8Then Abram said to Lot, g“Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, hfor we are kinsmen.1 9iIs 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.”
