Genesis 13:9-13

New International Version

⁹ Is not the whole land before you? Let’s part company. If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right; if you go to the right, I’ll go to the left.”^(A)

¹⁰ Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain^(B) of the Jordan toward Zoar^(C) was well watered, like the garden of the Lord,^(D) like the land of Egypt.^(E) (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom^(F) and Gomorrah.)^{(G) 11} So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company: ¹² Abram lived in the land of Canaan,^(H) while Lot^(I) lived among the cities of the plain^(J) and pitched his tents near Sodom.^{(K) 13} Now the people of Sodom^(L) were wicked and were sinning greatly against the Lord.^(M)
