Genesis 13:8-10
English Standard Version
8 Then Abram said to Lot, (A)“Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, (B)for we are kinsmen.[a] 9 (C)Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right, or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left.” 10 And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the (D)Jordan Valley was well watered everywhere like (E)the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of (F)Zoar. (This was before the Lord (G)destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)

8 (A)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! 9 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 [a]vicinity of the (B)Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere—this was before the Lord (C)destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah—like (D)the garden of the Lord, (E)like the land of Egypt [b]going toward (F)Zoar.
