Genesis 13:5-15:21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks, herds, and tents. 6 But the land was unable to support them as long as they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they could not stay together,(A) 7 and there was quarreling between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock.(B) At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land.(C)
8 Then Abram said to Lot, “Please, let’s not have quarreling between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, since we are relatives.[a] 9 Isn’t the whole land before you? Separate from me: if you go to the left, I will go to the right; if you go to the right, I will go to the left.”
10 Lot looked out and saw that the entire Jordan Valley(D) as far as[b] Zoar(E) was well watered everywhere like the Lord’s garden(F) and the land of Egypt. This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.(G) 11 So Lot chose the entire Jordan Valley for himself. Then Lot journeyed eastward, and they separated from each other. 12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, but Lot lived in the cities of the valley and set up his tent near Sodom. 13 Now the men of Sodom were evil, sinning greatly[c] against the Lord.(H)
14 After Lot had separated from him, the Lord said to Abram, “Look from the place where you are. Look north and south, east and west,(I) 15 for I will give you and your offspring forever all the land that you see.(J) 16 I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth,(K) so that if anyone could count the dust of the earth, then your offspring could be counted. 17 Get up and walk around the land, through its length and width, for I will give it to you.”
18 So Abram moved his tent and went to live near the oaks of Mamre at Hebron,(L) where he built an altar to the Lord.
Abram Rescues Lot
14 In those days Amraphel king of Shinar,(M) Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam,[d](N) and Tidal[e] king of Goiim[f] 2 waged war against Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim,(O) as well as the king of Bela (that is, Zoar(P)). 3 All of these came as allies to the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Dead Sea(Q)). 4 They were subject to Chedorlaomer for 12 years, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 5 In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and defeated the Rephaim(R) in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham,(S) the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim, 6 and the Horites(T) in the mountains of Seir, as far as El-paran(U) by the wilderness. 7 Then they came back to invade En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh(V)), and they defeated all the territory of the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar.(W)
8 Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) went out and lined up for battle in the Valley of Siddim 9 against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five. 10 Now the Valley of Siddim contained many asphalt pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some fell into them,[g] but the rest fled to the mountains.(X) 11 The four kings took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food and went on. 12 They also took Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, for he was living in Sodom,(Y) and they went on.
13 One of the survivors came and told Abram the Hebrew,(Z) who lived near the oaks belonging to Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol and the brother of Aner. They were bound by a treaty with[h] Abram. 14 When Abram heard that his relative had been taken prisoner, he assembled[i] his 318 trained men, born in his household,(AA) and they went in pursuit as far as Dan.(AB) 15 And he and his servants deployed against them by night, attacked them, and pursued them as far as Hobah to the north of Damascus. 16 He brought back all the goods and also his relative Lot and his goods, as well as the women and the other people.
Melchizedek’s Blessing
17 After Abram returned from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley(AC)). 18 Then Melchizedek, king of Salem,[j](AD) brought out bread and wine; he was a priest to God Most High.(AE) 19 He blessed him and said:
Abram is blessed by God Most High,
Creator[k] of heaven and earth,
20 and I give praise to[l] God Most High
who has handed over your enemies to you.
And Abram gave him a tenth of everything.(AF)
21 Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, but take the possessions for yourself.”
22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand in an oath to Yahweh, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, 23 that I will not take a thread or sandal strap or anything that belongs to you, so you can never say, ‘I made Abram rich.’ 24 I will take nothing[m] except what the servants have eaten. But as for the share of the men who came with me—Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre—they can take their share.”
The Abrahamic Covenant
15 After these events, the word of the Lord came(AG) to Abram in a vision:
2 But Abram said, “Lord God, what can You give me, since I am childless and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”[n] 3 Abram continued, “Look, You have given me no offspring, so a slave born in[o] my house will be my heir.”
4 Now the word of the Lord came to him: “This one will not be your heir; instead, one who comes from your own body[p] will be your heir.” 5 He took him outside and said, “Look at the sky and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” Then He said to him, “Your offspring will be that numerous.”(AJ)
6 Abram believed the Lord, and He credited it to him as righteousness.(AK)
7 He also said to him, “I am Yahweh who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess.”(AL)
8 But he said, “Lord God, how can I know(AM) that I will possess it?”
9 He said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old cow, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”
10 So he brought all these to Him, split them down the middle, and laid the pieces opposite each other, but he did not cut up the birds.(AN) 11 Birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away. 12 As the sun was setting, a deep sleep(AO) fell on Abram, and suddenly great terror and darkness descended on him.
13 Then the Lord said to Abram,(AP) “Know this for certain: Your offspring will be foreigners(AQ) in a land that does not belong to them; they will be enslaved and oppressed[q] 400 years.(AR) 14 However, I will judge the nation they serve,(AS) and afterward they will go out with many possessions.(AT) 15 But you will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a ripe old age.(AU) 16 In the fourth generation they will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.”[r](AV)
17 When the sun had set and it was dark, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch appeared and passed between the divided animals. 18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, “I give this land to your offspring,(AW) from the brook of Egypt(AX) to the Euphrates River:[s] 19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, 20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaim, 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.”

Genesis 13:5-15:21
New International Version
5 Now Lot,(A) 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.(B) 7 And quarreling(C) arose between Abram’s herders and Lot’s. The Canaanites(D) and Perizzites(E) were also living in the land(F) at that time.
8 So Abram said to Lot,(G) “Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me,(H) or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives.(I) 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.”(J)
10 Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain(K) of the Jordan toward Zoar(L) was well watered, like the garden of the Lord,(M) like the land of Egypt.(N) (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom(O) and Gomorrah.)(P) 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,(Q) while Lot(R) lived among the cities of the plain(S) and pitched his tents near Sodom.(T) 13 Now the people of Sodom(U) were wicked and were sinning greatly against the Lord.(V)
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.(W) 15 All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring[a] forever.(X) 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.(Y) 17 Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land,(Z) for I am giving it to you.”(AA)
18 So Abram went to live near the great trees of Mamre(AB) at Hebron,(AC) where he pitched his tents. There he built an altar to the Lord.(AD)
Abram Rescues Lot
14 At the time when Amraphel was king of Shinar,[b](AE) Arioch king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer(AF) king of Elam(AG) and Tidal king of Goyim, 2 these kings went to war against Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboyim,(AH) and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).(AI) 3 All these latter kings joined forces in the Valley of Siddim(AJ) (that is, the Dead Sea Valley(AK)). 4 For twelve years they had been subject to Kedorlaomer,(AL) but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5 In the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer(AM) and the kings allied with him went out and defeated the Rephaites(AN) in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites(AO) in Shaveh Kiriathaim 6 and the Horites(AP) in the hill country of Seir,(AQ) as far as El Paran(AR) near the desert. 7 Then they turned back and went to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh),(AS) and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites,(AT) as well as the Amorites(AU) who were living in Hazezon Tamar.(AV)
8 Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah,(AW) the king of Admah, the king of Zeboyim(AX) and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar)(AY) marched out and drew up their battle lines in the Valley of Siddim(AZ) 9 against Kedorlaomer(BA) king of Elam,(BB) Tidal king of Goyim, Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five. 10 Now the Valley of Siddim(BC) was full of tar(BD) pits, and when the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah(BE) fled, some of the men fell into them and the rest fled to the hills.(BF) 11 The four kings seized all the goods(BG) of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food; then they went away. 12 They also carried off Abram’s nephew Lot(BH) and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom.
13 A man who had escaped came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew.(BI) Now Abram was living near the great trees of Mamre(BJ) the Amorite, a brother[c] of Eshkol(BK) and Aner, all of whom were allied with Abram. 14 When Abram heard that his relative(BL) had been taken captive, he called out the 318 trained(BM) men born in his household(BN) and went in pursuit as far as Dan.(BO) 15 During the night Abram divided his men(BP) to attack them and he routed them, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.(BQ) 16 He recovered(BR) all the goods(BS) and brought back his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the other people.
17 After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer(BT) and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom(BU) came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).(BV)
18 Then Melchizedek(BW) king of Salem(BX) brought out bread(BY) and wine.(BZ) He was priest of God Most High,(CA) 19 and he blessed Abram,(CB) saying,
“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,(CC)
Creator of heaven and earth.(CD)
20 And praise be to God Most High,(CE)
who delivered your enemies into your hand.”
Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.(CF)
21 The king of Sodom(CG) said to Abram, “Give me the people and keep the goods(CH) for yourself.”
22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom,(CI) “With raised hand(CJ) I have sworn an oath to the Lord, God Most High,(CK) Creator of heaven and earth,(CL) 23 that I will accept nothing belonging to you,(CM) not even a thread or the strap of a sandal, so that you will never be able to say, ‘I made Abram rich.’ 24 I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share that belongs to the men who went with me—to Aner, Eshkol and Mamre.(CN) Let them have their share.”
The Lord’s Covenant With Abram
15 After this, the word of the Lord came to Abram(CO) in a vision:(CP)
2 But Abram said, “Sovereign Lord,(CT) what can you give me since I remain childless(CU) and the one who will inherit[f] my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?(CV)” 3 And Abram said, “You have given me no children; so a servant(CW) in my household(CX) will be my heir.”
4 Then the word of the Lord came to him: “This man will not be your heir, but a son who is your own flesh and blood will be your heir.(CY)” 5 He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars(CZ)—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring[g] be.”(DA)
6 Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.(DB)
7 He also said to him, “I am the Lord, who brought you out(DC) of Ur of the Chaldeans(DD) to give you this land to take possession of it.”(DE)
8 But Abram said, “Sovereign Lord,(DF) how can I know(DG) that I will gain possession of it?”(DH)
9 So the Lord said to him, “Bring me a heifer,(DI) a goat and a ram, each three years old,(DJ) along with a dove and a young pigeon.(DK)”
10 Abram brought all these to him, cut them in two and arranged the halves opposite each other;(DL) the birds, however, he did not cut in half.(DM) 11 Then birds of prey came down on the carcasses,(DN) but Abram drove them away.
12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep,(DO) and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him. 13 Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years(DP) your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved(DQ) and mistreated there. 14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out(DR) with great possessions.(DS) 15 You, however, will go to your ancestors(DT) in peace and be buried at a good old age.(DU) 16 In the fourth generation(DV) your descendants will come back here,(DW) for the sin of the Amorites(DX) has not yet reached its full measure.”
17 When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch(DY) appeared and passed between the pieces.(DZ) 18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram(EA) and said, “To your descendants I give this land,(EB) from the Wadi[h] of Egypt(EC) to the great river, the Euphrates(ED)— 19 the land of the Kenites,(EE) Kenizzites, Kadmonites, 20 Hittites,(EF) Perizzites,(EG) Rephaites,(EH) 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites.”(EI)

Adultery in the Heart
27 “You have heard that it was said, Do not commit adultery.(A)[a] 28 But I tell you, everyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.(B) 29 If your right eye causes you to sin,(C) gouge it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.(D) 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to go into hell!
Divorce Practices Censured
31 “It was also said, Whoever divorces(E) his wife must give her a written notice of divorce.(F)[b] 32 But I tell you, everyone who divorces his wife, except in a case of sexual immorality,[c] causes her to commit adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.(G)
Tell the Truth
33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to our ancestors,[d] You must not break your oath, but you must keep your oaths to the Lord.(H)[e] 34 But I tell you, don’t take an oath at all: either by heaven, because it is God’s throne; 35 or by the earth, because it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.(I) 36 Neither should you swear by your head, because you cannot make a single hair white or black. 37 But let your word ‘yes’ be ‘yes,’ and your ‘no’ be ‘no.’[f] Anything more than this is from the evil one.(J)
Go the Second Mile
38 “You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.(K)[g] 39 But I tell you, don’t resist[h] an evildoer. On the contrary, if anyone slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.(L) 40 As for the one who wants to sue you and take away your shirt,[i] let him have your coat[j] as well. 41 And if anyone forces[k] you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and don’t turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.(M)
Love Your Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, Love your neighbor(N)[l] and hate your enemy. 44 But I tell you, love your enemies[m] and pray for those who[n] persecute you,(O) 45 so that you may be[o] sons of your Father in heaven. For He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.(P) 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing out of the ordinary?[p](Q) Don’t even the Gentiles[q] do the same? 48 Be perfect,(R) therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Adultery
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[a](A) 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.(B) 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble,(C) gouge it out and throw it away.

Divorce
31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’[b](E) 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.(F)
Oaths
33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath,(G) but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’(H) 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all:(I) either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;(J) 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.(K) 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’;(L) anything beyond this comes from the evil one.[c](M)
Eye for Eye
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[d](N) 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.(O) 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.(P)
Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[e](Q) and hate your enemy.’(R) 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,(S) 45 that you may be children(T) of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.(U) 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?(V) Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.(W)
