Genesis 13
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
Abram and Lot Separate
13 Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev(A) – he, his wife, and all he had, and Lot with him. 2 Abram was very rich in livestock, silver, and gold. 3 He went by stages from the Negev to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had formerly been, 4 to the site where he had built the altar. And Abram called on the name of the Lord there.(B)
5 Now Lot, who was travelling 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,(C) 7 and there was quarrelling between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock.(D) (At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land.)(E)
8 So Abram said to Lot, ‘Please, let’s not have quarrelling between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, since we are relatives. 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 plain[a] of the Jordan(F) as far as Zoar(G) was well watered everywhere like the Lord’s garden(H) and the land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)(I) 11 So Lot chose the entire plain of the Jordan for himself. Then Lot journeyed eastwards, and they separated from each other. 12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, but Lot lived in the cities on the plain and set up his tent near Sodom. 13 (Now the men of Sodom were evil, sinning immensely[b] against the Lord.)(J)
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,(K) 15 for I will give you and your offspring[c] for ever all the land that you see.(L) 16 I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth,(M) 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,(N) where he built an altar to the Lord.

Abrán y Lot se separan
13 Abrán partió de Egipto hacia el Néguev, junto con su mujer y con todo lo que tenía, y Lot se fue con él. 2 Abrán era riquísimo en ganado, plata y oro. 3 Desde el Néguev volvió por sus jornadas hasta Betel, hasta el lugar donde antes había estado su tienda, entre Betel y Hai. 4 En ese lugar, Abrán había levantado antes un altar. Allí invocó el nombre del Señor.
5 Lot, que andaba con Abrán, también tenía ovejas, vacas y tiendas. 6 La tierra no era suficiente para que pudieran habitar juntos en un mismo lugar, pues sus posesiones eran muchas, 7 así que hubo contiendas entre los pastores del ganado de Abrán y los pastores del ganado de Lot. Los cananeos y los ferezeos habitaban entonces en esa tierra. 8 Abrán le dijo entonces a Lot:
«No debe haber altercados entre nosotros dos, ni entre mis pastores y los tuyos, pues somos hermanos. 9 ¿Acaso no tienes ante ti toda la tierra? Te ruego que te apartes de mí. Si te vas a la mano izquierda, yo iré a la derecha; y si te vas a la derecha, yo iré a la izquierda.»
10 Lot levantó los ojos, y vio que toda la llanura del Jordán era de riego, como el huerto del Señor.(A) Era como la tierra de Egipto en dirección de Soar, antes de que el Señor destruyera a Sodoma y a Gomorra. 11 Entonces Lot escogió para sí toda la llanura del Jordán y se fue hacia el oriente. Así se apartaron el uno del otro. 12 Abrán acampó en la tierra de Canaán, en tanto que Lot fue poniendo sus tiendas hasta Sodoma y habitó en las ciudades de la llanura. 13 Pero los hombres de Sodoma eran malos y grandes pecadores contra el Señor.
14 Después de que Lot se apartó de Abrán, el Señor le dijo a Abrán:
«Levanta ahora tus ojos, y desde el lugar donde estás mira hacia el norte y hacia el sur, hacia el oriente y el occidente. 15 Toda la tierra que ves, te la daré a ti y a tu descendencia para siempre.(B) 16 Yo haré que tu descendencia sea como el polvo de la tierra. Si hay quien pueda contar el polvo de la tierra, entonces también tu descendencia podrá ser contada. 17 Levántate, recorre la tierra a todo lo largo y lo ancho de ella, porque a ti te la daré.»
18 Entonces Abrán levantó de allí su tienda y se fue a acampar en el encinar de Mamre, que está en Hebrón. Allí edificó un altar al Señor.
Genesis 13
King James Version
13 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the Lord.
5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.
14 And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the Lord.
