1Abram bounced outta Egypt with his wifey and all his stuff, plus Lot, heading south.

2Abram was flexing mad racks in cattle, silver, and gold.

3He was on the move from the south to Beth-el, back to where he pitched his tent at first, between Beth-el and Hai.

4He hit up the altar he made there, and called on God’s name, no cap.

5Lot was rollin' with Abram too, with his own flocks, herds, and tents.

6The land was too packed for them to chill together; their vibes were just too great.

7There was beef between Abram’s herders and Lot’s herders, while the Canaanite and Perizzite were also vibing in the area.

8Abram told Lot, “Let’s not have drama between us or our herders; we’re fam.”

9The whole land is yours, so pick your side: if you go left, I’ll go right; if you go right, I’ll go left, periodt.

10Lot checked out the Jordan plain, it was water central everywhere, before God wiped out Sodom and Gomorrah, kinda like the Garden of Eden, lowkey like Egypt.

11Lot was like, "I’m taking the whole Jordan Valley," and bounced east, leaving Abram behind.

12Abram chilled in Canaan while Lot was in the cities of the plain, setting up his tent towards Sodom.

13But the Sodom crew? Straight-up wicked and wildin’ in front of the Lord, no cap.

14The Lord told Abram, after Lot dipped, "Look up and check out the whole scene: north, south, east, and west."

15"All that land you see? I'm giving it to you and your fam, forever."

16"I’ll make your descendants as countless as the dust on the ground; if someone can count that, then they can count your kids."

17"Get up, walk through the land, it’s all yours."

18So, Abram moved his tent and settled in Mamre’s plain, which is in Hebron, and built an altar for the Lord there.

1And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.

2And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

3And he went on his journeys from the south even to Beth–el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth–el and Hai;

4Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the Lord.

5And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

6And 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.

7And 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.

8And 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.

9Is 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.

10And 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.

11Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

12Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

13But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.

14And 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:

15For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

16And 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.

17Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.

18Then 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.
