Genesis 13:5-9
New King James Version
5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents. 6 Now (A)the land was not able to [a]support them, that they might dwell together, for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together. 7 And there was (B)strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. (C)The Canaanites and the Perizzites then dwelt in the land.
8 So Abram said to Lot, (D)“Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren. 9 (E)Is not the whole land before you? Please (F)separate from me. (G)If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.”
