BERESHITH (GENESIS) 13

Gen 13:1 And Aḇram went up from Mitsrayim into the South, he and his
wife and all that he had, and Lot with him.
Gen 13:2 And Aḇram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
Gen 13:3 And he went on his journey from the South as far as Bĕyth Ĕl, to
the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bĕyth Ĕl and Ai,
Gen 13:4 to the place of the altar which he had made there at first. And there
Aḇram called on the Name of יהוה.
Gen 13:5 Now Lot, who went with Aḇram, also had flocks and herds and
tents.
Gen 13:6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell
together, for their possessions were great, so that they could not dwell
together.
Gen 13:7 And there was strife between the herdsmen of Aḇram’s livestock
and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. And at that time the Kena‛anites and the
Perizzites dwelt in the land.
Gen 13:8 Then Aḇram said to Lot, “Please let there be no strife between you
and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are brothers.
Gen 13:9 “Is not all the land before you? Please separate from me. If you
take the left, then I go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I go to the
left.”
Gen 13:10 And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of the Yardĕn, that it
was well watered everywhere – before יהוה destroyed Seḏom and Amorah –
like the garden of יהוה, like the land of Mitsrayim as you go toward Tso‛ar.
Gen 13:11 So Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Yardĕn, and Lot
moved east. Thus they separated from each other,
Gen 13:12 Aḇram dwelling in the land of Kena‛an, and Lot dwelling in the
cities of the plain and pitched his tent as far as Seḏom.
Gen 13:13 But the men of Seḏom were evil and sinned before יהוה,
exceedingly so.
Gen 13:14 And after Lot had separated from him, יהוה said to Aḇram, “Now
lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and
southward and eastward and westward,
Gen 13:15 for all the land which you see I shall give to you and your seed
forever.
Gen 13:16 “And I shall make your seed as the dust of the earth, so that, if a
man could count the dust of the earth, then your seed also could be counted.
Gen 13:17 “Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I
give it to you.”
Gen 13:18 So Aḇram moved his tent, and went and dwelt by the terebinth
trees of Mamrĕ, which are in Ḥeḇron, and built an altar there to יהוה.
