Abrán y Lot se separan
13 Abrán partió de Egipto hacia el Néguev, junto con su mujer y con todo lo que tenía, y Lot se fue con él. 2 Abrán era riquísimo en ganado, plata y oro. 3 Desde el Néguev volvió por sus jornadas hasta Betel, hasta el lugar donde antes había estado su tienda, entre Betel y Hai. 4 En ese lugar, Abrán había levantado antes un altar. Allí invocó el nombre del Señor.
5 Lot, que andaba con Abrán, también tenía ovejas, vacas y tiendas. 6 La tierra no era suficiente para que pudieran habitar juntos en un mismo lugar, pues sus posesiones eran muchas, 7 así que hubo contiendas entre los pastores del ganado de Abrán y los pastores del ganado de Lot. Los cananeos y los ferezeos habitaban entonces en esa tierra. 8 Abrán le dijo entonces a Lot:
«No debe haber altercados entre nosotros dos, ni entre mis pastores y los tuyos, pues somos hermanos. 9 ¿Acaso no tienes ante ti toda la tierra? Te ruego que te apartes de mí. Si te vas a la mano izquierda, yo iré a la derecha; y si te vas a la derecha, yo iré a la izquierda.»
10 Lot levantó los ojos, y vio que toda la llanura del Jordán era de riego, como el huerto del Señor.(A) Era como la tierra de Egipto en dirección de Soar, antes de que el Señor destruyera a Sodoma y a Gomorra. 11 Entonces Lot escogió para sí toda la llanura del Jordán y se fue hacia el oriente. Así se apartaron el uno del otro. 12 Abrán acampó en la tierra de Canaán, en tanto que Lot fue poniendo sus tiendas hasta Sodoma y habitó en las ciudades de la llanura. 13 Pero los hombres de Sodoma eran malos y grandes pecadores contra el Señor.
14 Después de que Lot se apartó de Abrán, el Señor le dijo a Abrán:
«Levanta ahora tus ojos, y desde el lugar donde estás mira hacia el norte y hacia el sur, hacia el oriente y el occidente. 15 Toda la tierra que ves, te la daré a ti y a tu descendencia para siempre.(B) 16 Yo haré que tu descendencia sea como el polvo de la tierra. Si hay quien pueda contar el polvo de la tierra, entonces también tu descendencia podrá ser contada. 17 Levántate, recorre la tierra a todo lo largo y lo ancho de ella, porque a ti te la daré.»
18 Entonces Abrán levantó de allí su tienda y se fue a acampar en el encinar de Mamre, que está en Hebrón. Allí edificó un altar al Señor.

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. 2 Abram had become very wealthy(D) in livestock(E) and in silver and gold.
3 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 4 and where he had first built an altar.(I) There Abram called on the name of the Lord.(J)
5 Now Lot,(K) who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents. 6 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) 7 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.
8 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) 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.”(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)

Abram Inherits Canaan
13 Then Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and (A)Lot with him, (B)to the [a]South. 2 (C)Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3 And he went on his journey (D)from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, 4 to the (E)place of the altar which he had made there at first. And there Abram (F)called on the name of the Lord.
5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents. 6 Now (G)the land was not able to [b]support them, that they might dwell together, for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together. 7 And there was (H)strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. (I)The Canaanites and the Perizzites then dwelt in the land.
8 So Abram said to Lot, (J)“Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren. 9 (K)Is not the whole land before you? Please (L)separate from me. (M)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.”
10 And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all (N)the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the Lord (O)destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) (P)like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go toward (Q)Zoar. 11 Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated from each other. 12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot (R)dwelt in the cities of the plain and (S)pitched his tent even as far as Sodom. 13 But the men of Sodom (T)were exceedingly wicked and (U)sinful against the Lord.
14 And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot (V)had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—(W)northward, southward, eastward, and westward; 15 for all the land which you see (X)I give to you and (Y)your [c]descendants forever. 16 And (Z)I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered. 17 Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.”
18 (AA)Then Abram moved his tent, and went and (AB)dwelt by [d]the terebinth trees of Mamre, (AC)which are in Hebron, and built an (AD)altar there to the Lord.
