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 y Lot se separan
13 Abram subió de Egipto con su esposa, con Lot y con todos sus bienes, en dirección a la región del Néguev. 2 Abram se había hecho muy rico en ganado, plata y oro.
3 Desde el Néguev, Abram fue de lugar en lugar hasta regresar al lugar donde había acampado al principio, entre Betel y Hai. 4 En ese lugar había erigido antes un altar; allí invocó Abram el nombre del Señor.
5 También Lot, que iba acompañando a Abram, tenía ovejas, vacas y tiendas de campaña. 6 La región donde estaban no daba abasto para mantener a los dos porque tenían muchas posesiones como para vivir juntos. 7 Por eso comenzaron los pleitos entre los pastores de los rebaños de Abram y los que cuidaban los ganados de Lot. En aquel tiempo los cananeos y los ferezeos también habitaban allí.
8 Así que Abram dijo a Lot: «No debe haber pleitos entre nosotros ni entre nuestros pastores, porque somos parientes. 9 Allí tienes toda la tierra a tu disposición. Por favor, aléjate de mí. Si te vas a la izquierda, yo me iré a la derecha y si te vas a la derecha, yo me iré a la izquierda».
10 Lot levantó la vista y observó que todo el valle del Jordán era tierra de regadío, como el jardín del Señor o como la tierra de Egipto en dirección a Zoar. Así era antes de que el Señor destruyera a Sodoma y a Gomorra. 11 Entonces Lot escogió para sí todo el valle del Jordán y partió hacia el oriente. Fue así como Abram y Lot se separaron. 12 Abram se quedó a vivir en la tierra de Canaán, mientras que Lot se fue a vivir entre las ciudades del valle, estableciendo su tienda de campaña cerca de la ciudad de Sodoma. 13 Los habitantes de Sodoma eran malvados y cometían muy graves pecados contra el Señor.
14 Después de que Lot se separó de Abram, el Señor le dijo: «Abram, levanta la vista desde el lugar donde estás. Mira hacia el norte y hacia el sur, hacia el este y hacia el oeste. 15 Yo te daré a ti y a tu descendencia, para siempre, toda la tierra que abarca tu mirada. 16 Multiplicaré tu descendencia como el polvo de la tierra. Si alguien puede contar el polvo de la tierra, también podrá contar tus descendientes. 17 ¡Levántate, recorre el país a lo largo y a lo ancho porque a ti te lo daré!».
18 Entonces Abram levantó de allí su tienda de campaña y se fue a vivir cerca de Hebrón, junto al bosque de encinas de Mamré. Allí erigió un altar al Señor.

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.
