Genesis 13:7-9
New Catholic Bible
7 Because of this a quarrel arose between the herdsmen of Abram and those of Lot. (At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in that land.)
8 Abram said to Lot, “Let us not have strife between you and me, between my herdsmen and yours, for we are relatives.[a] 9 Does not the entire land lie before you? You should separate from me. If you wish to go to the left, I will go to the right; if you wish to go to the right, I will go to the left.”

- Genesis 13:8 Lot is the son of Haran, Abraham’s brother (Gen 11:27, 31); the degree of kinship does not prevent Abraham and Lot being called brothers in some translations.
