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 en Lot gaan uit elkaar
13 Zo vertrok Abram uit Egypte naar het Zuiderland,[a] met zijn vrouw en alles wat hij had. Lot ging met hem mee. 2 Abram was heel rijk: hij had veel vee, zilver en goud. 3 Hij trok vanuit het Zuiderland terug naar Bet-El. Hij ging weer naar de plek waar hij de eerste keer zijn tenten had neergezet, tussen Bet-El en Ai. 4 Daar had Abram toen een altaar voor de Heer gebouwd. Ook nu bracht hij Hem daar weer offers.
5 Ook Lot, die met Abram meeging, had schapen en koeien en tenten. 6 Maar er groeide in dat gebied niet genoeg gras voor al die dieren, want ze hadden allebei heel veel vee. Daardoor konden ze er niet samen blijven wonen. 7 Er ontstond ruzie tussen de herders van Abrams vee en de herders van Lots vee. Bovendien woonden de Kanaänieten en de Perezieten met hun vee in dat gebied. 8 Daarom zei Abram tegen Lot: "Laten we alsjeblieft geen ruzie maken. Het is niet goed als er ruzie is tussen mijn herders en jouw herders. We zijn immers familie van elkaar. 9 Je kan toch wonen waar je wil? Laten we uit elkaar gaan. Als jij naar links wil gaan, zal ik naar rechts gaan. Als jij naar rechts wil gaan, zal ik naar links gaan." 10 Lot keek rond en zag dat er in het hele gebied van de Jordaan veel water was. Voordat de Heer Sodom en Gomorra verwoestte, was het er in de richting van Zoar zo mooi als de tuin van de Heer, of als Egypte. 11 Daarom koos Lot voor zichzelf het hele gebied van de Jordaan uit en trok naar het oosten. Zo gingen ze uit elkaar. 12 Abram bleef in Kanaän wonen. Lot ging in de steden van het Jordaangebied wonen. Hij zette zijn tenten op tot vlak bij de stad Sodom. 13 De mannen van Sodom waren erg slecht. Ze deden alles wat de Heer verboden had.
Gods belofte aan Abram
14 Toen Lot bij Abram was weggegaan, zei de Heer tegen Abram: "Kijk vanaf deze plek eens naar het noorden, zuiden, oosten en westen. 15 Het hele land dat je ziet, zal Ik voor altijd aan jou en je familie ná jou geven. 16 Ik zal van jou een groot volk maken, zo ontelbaar als het stof op de aarde. 17 Kom, trek rond door het hele land, want Ik zal het aan jou geven." 18 Daarna zette Abram zijn tenten op bij de eikenbomen van Mamré bij Hebron. Daar ging hij wonen. En hij bouwde er een altaar voor de Heer.

Abram and Lot Separate
13 So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, (A)into the Negeb.
2 (B)Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3 And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, 4 to (C)the place where he had made an altar at the first. And there Abram called upon the name of the Lord. 5 And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents, 6 so that (D)the land could not support both of them dwelling together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together, 7 (E)and there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. At that time (F)the Canaanites and the Perizzites were dwelling in the land.
8 Then Abram said to Lot, (G)“Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, (H)for we are kinsmen.[a] 9 (I)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 (J)Jordan Valley was well watered everywhere like (K)the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of (L)Zoar. (This was before the Lord (M)destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) 11 So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley, and Lot journeyed east. Thus they separated from each other. 12 Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom. 13 Now the men of Sodom (N)were wicked, great sinners against the Lord.
14 The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, (O)northward and southward and eastward and westward, 15 for all the land that you see I will give (P)to you and (Q)to your offspring forever. 16 (R)I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted. 17 Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.” 18 So Abram moved his tent and came and (S)settled by the (T)oaks[b] of Mamre, which (U)are at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the Lord.

Abrão e Lot separam-se
13 E assim deixaram o Egito e dirigiram-se para o norte, em direção a uma região a sul de Canaã, o Negueve. Ia com Abrão a sua mulher, Lot e tudo o que possuíam. 2 Abrão tinha-se tornado muito rico, não só em gado como em prata e ouro.
3 E continuou sempre para o norte em direção a Betel, até ao lugar onde tinha acampado primeiramente, entre Betel e Ai. 4 Lá, diante do altar que anteriormente tinha construído, invocou o nome do Senhor.
5 Lot também tinha enriquecido muito na companhia de Abrão, possuindo igualmente gado em abundância e muitos criados, 6 de tal forma que aquele sítio se tornava muito acanhado para viverem juntos; porque era muito o que ambos tinham. 7 E havia disputas entre os pastores de um e de outro. Os cananeus e os perizeus viviam por ali perto.
8 Então Abrão decidiu conversar seriamente com Lot sobre o assunto: “Estas contendas entre a nossa gente têm de acabar. Porque a verdade é que somos parentes chegados! 9 Ora é certo que não falta aí terra com espaço bastante para ser ocupada. O melhor portanto é separarmo-nos. Escolhe tu; eu saio daqui, se quiseres ficar. Caso contrário, fico eu e sais tu.”
10 Lot observou então com atenção a bela e fértil planície do Jordão, bem regada que era, antes do Senhor ter destruído Sodoma e Gomorra. Toda aquela região era tão fértil que parecia o próprio jardim do Senhor ou a bela zona de Zoar, quando se entra no Egito. 11 Por isso, Lot escolheu para si toda aquela planície do Jordão, que se encontrava a oriente deles. 12 E assim deixou Abrão e foi para lá com tudo o que tinha, passando a viver no meio daquelas cidades da campina, estabelecendo-se perto de Sodoma. Enquanto Abrão continuou a viver onde estava, na terra de Canaã. 13 A gente que morava naquela região de Sodoma era particularmente perversa. Eram grandes pecadores contra o Senhor.
14 O Senhor dirigiu-se a Abrão, depois que Lot se separou dele: “Olha tão longe quanto puderes em todas as direções. 15 Porque toda essa terra te hei de dar a ti e aos teus descendentes para sempre. 16 E virão a ser tão numerosos que, tal como acontece com os grãos de pó da terra, será impossível contá-los. 17 Começa a percorrer a terra, em todas as direções; explora-a porque virá a ser tua.”
18 Abrão mudou-se novamente; foi viver junto dos carvalhais de Mamre, perto de Hebrom. E levantou aí um altar ao Senhor.
