13 И поднялся Аврам из Египта, сам и жена его, и всё, что у него было, и Лот с ним, на юг.

И был Аврам очень богат скотом, и серебром, и золотом.

И продолжал он переходы свои от юга до Вефиля, до места, где прежде был шатер его между Вефилем и между Гаем,

до места жертвенника, который он сделал там вначале; и там призвал Аврам имя Господа.

И у Лота, который ходил с Аврамом, также был мелкий и крупный скот и шатры.

И непоместительна была земля для них, чтобы жить вместе, ибо имущество их было так велико, что они не могли жить вместе.

И был спор между пастухами скота Аврамова и между пастухами скота Лотова; и Хананеи и Ферезеи жили тогда в той земле.

И сказал Аврам Лоту: да не будет раздора между мною и тобою, и между пастухами моими и пастухами твоими, ибо мы родственники;

не вся ли земля пред тобою? отделись же от меня: если ты налево, то я направо; а если ты направо, то я налево.

10 Лот возвел очи свои и увидел всю окрестность Иорданскую, что она, прежде нежели истребил Господь Содом и Гоморру, вся до Сигора орошалась водою, как сад Господень, как земля Египетская;

11 и избрал себе Лот всю окрестность Иорданскую; и двинулся Лот к востоку. И отделились они друг от друга.

12 Аврам стал жить на земле Ханаанской; а Лот стал жить в городах окрестности и раскинул шатры до Содома.

13 Жители же Содомские были злы и весьма грешны пред Господом.

14 И сказал Господь Авраму, после того как Лот отделился от него: возведи очи твои и с места, на котором ты теперь, посмотри к северу и к югу, и к востоку и к западу;

15 ибо всю землю, которую ты видишь, тебе дам Я и потомству твоему навеки,

16 и сделаю потомство твое, как песок земной; если кто может сосчитать песок земной, то и потомство твое сочтено будет;

17 встань, пройди по земле сей в долготу и в широту ее, ибо Я тебе дам ее.

18 И двинул Аврам шатер, и пошел, и поселился у дубравы Мамре, что в Хевроне; и создал там жертвенник Господу.

Разделение Аврама и Лота

13 Аврам с женой и всем имуществом отправился из Египта в Негев, и Лот пошел с ним. У Аврама теперь было много скота, серебра и золота. Из Негева он продолжил путь, пока не пришел в Вефиль, к тому месту, где некогда стоял его шатер, между Вефилем и Гаем, к тому месту, где он прежде построил жертвенник. Там Аврам призвал имя Господа.

У Лота, который кочевал с Аврамом, тоже были стада мелкого и крупного скота и шатры, и земля не могла прокормить их обоих: у них было так много всего, что они не могли селиться вместе. Между пастухами Аврама и пастухами Лота случился раздор. Хананеи и ферезеи жили тогда в той земле.

Тогда Аврам сказал Лоту:

– Пусть не будет раздора ни между тобой и мной, ни между твоими пастухами и моими, потому что мы родственники. Не вся ли земля перед тобою? Давай разделимся: если ты пойдешь налево, то я поверну направо, а если ты пойдешь направо, то я поверну налево.

10 Лот посмотрел и увидел, что вся иорданская долина до самого Цоара хорошо орошается, как сад Господа[a], как земля египетская. Это было еще до того, как Господь разрушил Содом и Гоморру. 11 Лот выбрал себе всю долину Иордана и отправился на восток. Они разделились: 12 Аврам жил в земле Ханаанской, а Лот жил среди городов долины, поставив шатры невдалеке от Содома. 13 Жители Содома были нечестивы и тяжко грешили против Господа.

14 Господь сказал Авраму после того, как Лот отделился от него:

– Оглянись вокруг с того места, где ты сейчас. Посмотри на север и на юг, на восток и на запад. 15 Всю землю, которую ты видишь, Я дам тебе и твоему семени навеки. 16 Я сделаю твое потомство многочисленным, как земную пыль, так что если кто сможет пересчитать пылинки, то и твое потомство будет пересчитано. 17 Иди, пройди по этой земле вдоль и поперек, потому что Я дам ее тебе.

18 Аврам свернул шатры и направился жить невдалеке от дубравы Мамре в Хевроне. Он построил там жертвенник Господу.

Abram and Lot

13 So Abram went up from Egypt to (A)the [a]Negev, he and his wife and all that belonged to him, and Lot with him.

Now Abram was (B)very rich in livestock, silver, and gold. And he went [b]on his journeys from the [c]Negev as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, (C)between Bethel and Ai, to the place of the (D)altar which he had made there previously; and there Abram called on the name of the Lord. Now (E)Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks, herds, and tents. And (F)the land could not [d]support both of them [e]while living together, (G)for their possessions were so great that they were not able to remain together. (H)And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. Now (I)the Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land at that time.

(J)So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no strife between you and me, nor between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are relatives! Is the entire land not before you? Please separate from me; if you choose the left, then I will go to the right; or if you choose the right, then I will go to the left.” 10 Lot raised his eyes and saw all the [f]vicinity of the (K)Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere—this was before the Lord (L)destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah—like (M)the garden of the Lord, (N)like the land of Egypt [g]going toward (O)Zoar. 11 So Lot chose for himself all the [h]vicinity of the Jordan, and Lot journeyed eastward. So they separated from each other. 12 Abram [i]settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot [j]settled in (P)the cities of the [k]vicinity of the Jordan, and moved his tents as far as Sodom. 13 Now (Q)the men of Sodom were [l]exceedingly wicked (R)sinners against the Lord.

14 The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “(S)Now raise your eyes and look from the place where you are, (T)northward and southward, and eastward and westward; 15 (U)for all the land which you see (V)I will give to you and to your [m]descendants forever. 16 I will make your [n]descendants (W)as plentiful as the dust of the earth, so that if anyone can count the dust of the earth, then your [o]descendants could also be counted. 17 Arise, (X)walk about in the land through its length and width; for (Y)I will give it to you.” 18 Then Abram moved his tent and came and lived by the [p](Z)oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron; and there he built (AA)an altar to the Lord.

Abram and Lot Separate

13 So Abram went up from Egypt(A) to the Negev,(B) with his wife and everything he had, and Lot(C) went with him. Abram had become very wealthy(D) in livestock(E) and in silver and gold.

From the Negev(F) he went from place to place until he came to Bethel,(G) to the place between Bethel and Ai(H) where his tent had been earlier and where he had first built an altar.(I) There Abram called on the name of the Lord.(J)

Now Lot,(K) who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents. But the land could not support them while they stayed together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay together.(L) And quarreling(M) arose between Abram’s herders and Lot’s. The Canaanites(N) and Perizzites(O) were also living in the land(P) at that time.

So Abram said to Lot,(Q) “Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me,(R) or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives.(S) 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.”(T)

10 Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain(U) of the Jordan toward Zoar(V) was well watered, like the garden of the Lord,(W) like the land of Egypt.(X) (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom(Y) and Gomorrah.)(Z) 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,(AA) while Lot(AB) lived among the cities of the plain(AC) and pitched his tents near Sodom.(AD) 13 Now the people of Sodom(AE) were wicked and were sinning greatly against the Lord.(AF)

14 The Lord said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, “Look around from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west.(AG) 15 All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring[a] forever.(AH) 16 I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted.(AI) 17 Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land,(AJ) for I am giving it to you.”(AK)

18 So Abram went to live near the great trees of Mamre(AL) at Hebron,(AM) where he pitched his tents. There he built an altar to the Lord.(AN)

  1. Genesis 13:15 Or seed; also in verse 16

13 And Avram went up out of Mitzrayim, he, and his isha, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the Negev.

And Avram was very rich in cattle, in kesef, and in zahav.

And he went on his journeys from the Negev even to Beit-El, unto the makom where his ohel had been at the beginning, between Beit-El and Ai;

Unto the makom of the Mizbe’ach, which he had built there at the first; and there Avram called on the Shem of Hashem.

And Lot also, which walked with Avram, had tzon, and herds, and ohalim.

And ha’aretz was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together; for their rechush was rav, so that they could not dwell together.

And there was a riv between the ro’im of the herd of Avram and the ro’im of the herd of Lot; and the Kena’ani and the Perizzi dwelt then in ha’aretz.

And Avram said unto Lot, Let there be no merivah now between me and thee, and between my ro’im and thy ro’im; for we are achim.

Is not the kol ha’aretz before thee? Separate thyself, now, from me; if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Yarden, that it was well watered everywhere, before Hashem destroyed Sodom and Amora, even as the Gan Hashem, like Eretz Mitzrayim, as you go to Tzoar.

11 Then Lot chose for him all the plain of Yarden; and Lot journeyed mikedem (east); and they separated themselves the one from his brother.

12 Avram dwelled in Eretz Kena’an, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his ohel toward Sodom.

13 But the men of Sodom were ra’im and chatta’im before Hashem exceedingly.

14 And Hashem said unto Avram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the makom where thou art northward, and southward and eastward, and westward:

15 For kol ha’aretz which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy zera ad olam (forever).

16 And I will make thy zera as the dust of ha’aretz; so that if a man can number the aphar of ha’aretz, then shall thy zera also be numbered.

17 Arise, walk through ha’aretz in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.

18 Then Avram moved his ohel, and came and dwelt in Elonei Mamre, which is in Chevron, and built there a Mizbe’ach unto Hashem.
