And there fell a strife
between the herdmen of Abram's cattle, and the herdmen of Lot's
cattle. Moreover the Cananites and the Pherisites dwelled at that
time in the land. Then said Abram unto Lot: Let there be no strife
I pray thee between thee and me and between my herdmen and thine,
for we be brethren. Is not all the hole land before thee? Depart I
pray thee from me. If thou wilt take the left hand, I will take
the right: or if thou take the right hand I will take the left.
And Lot lift up his eyes and beheld all the country about Iordan,
which was a plenteous country of water every where, before the
LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorra, even as the garden of the LORD,
and as the land of Egypt till thou come to Zoar. Then Lot chose
all the coasts of Iordan and took his journey from the east. And
so departed the one brother from the other. Abram dwelled in the
land of Canaan: And Lot in the cities of the plain, and tented
till he came to Sodom. But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinned
exceedingly against the LORD. And the LORD said unto Abram, after
that Lot was departed from him: Lift up thine eyes and look from
the place where thou art, northward, southward, eastward and
westward, for all the land which thou seest will I give unto thee
and to thy seed for ever.
