Chapter 13
| Gene | GodsWord | 13:1 | Abram left Egypt with his wife and everything he had and went to the Negev. Lot was with him. | |
| Gene | GodsWord | 13:3 | He traveled from place to place. He went from the Negev as far as Bethel, to the area between Bethel and Ai where his tent had been originally, | |
| Gene | GodsWord | 13:5 | Lot, who had been traveling with Abram, also had his own sheep, cattle, and tents. | |
| Gene | GodsWord | 13:6 | There wasn't enough pastureland for both of them. They had so many possessions that they were unable to remain together. | |
| Gene | GodsWord | 13:7 | Quarrels broke out between Abram's herders and Lot's herders. (Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in that area.) | |
| Gene | GodsWord | 13:8 | Abram said to Lot, "Please, let's not have any more quarrels between us or between our herders. After all, we're relatives. | |
| Gene | GodsWord | 13:9 | Isn't all this land yours also? Let's separate. If you go to the left, I'll go to the right, and if you go to the right, I'll go to the left." | |
| Gene | GodsWord | 13:10 | Then Lot looked in the direction of Zoar as far as he could see. He saw that the whole Jordan Plain was well-watered like the LORD's garden or like Egypt. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) | |
| Gene | GodsWord | 13:11 | Lot chose the whole Jordan Plain for himself. He moved toward the east. They each went their own way. | |
| Gene | GodsWord | 13:12 | Abram lived in Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain, moving his tents as far as Sodom. | |
| Gene | GodsWord | 13:13 | (The people who lived in Sodom were very wicked. They committed terrible sins against the LORD.) | |
| Gene | GodsWord | 13:14 | After Lot left, the LORD said to Abram, "Look north, south, east, and west of where you are. | |
| Gene | GodsWord | 13:15 | I will give all the land you see to you and to your descendants for an indefinite period of time. | |
| Gene | GodsWord | 13:16 | I will also give you as many descendants as the dust of the earth. If anyone could count the dust of the earth, then he could also count your descendants. | |
