Kej 13:1 Maka pergilah Abram dari Mesir ke Tanah Negeb dengan isterinya dan segala kepunyaannya, dan Lotpun bersama-sama dengan dia.
Kej 13:2 Adapun Abram sangat kaya, banyak ternak, perak dan emasnya.
Kej 13:3 Ia berjalan dari tempat persinggahan ke tempat persinggahan, dari Tanah Negeb sampai dekat Betel, di mana kemahnya mula-mula berdiri, antara Betel dan Ai,
Kej 13:4 ke tempat mezbah yang dibuatnya dahulu di sana; di situlah Abram memanggil nama TUHAN.
Kej 13:5 Juga Lot, yang ikut bersama-sama dengan Abram, mempunyai domba dan lembu dan kemah.
Kej 13:6 Tetapi negeri itu tidak cukup luas bagi mereka untuk diam bersama-sama, sebab harta milik mereka amat banyak, sehingga mereka tidak dapat diam bersama-sama.
Kej 13:7 Karena itu terjadilah perkelahian antara para gembala Abram dan para gembala Lot. Waktu itu orang Kanaan dan orang Feris diam di negeri itu.
Kej 13:8 Maka berkatalah Abram kepada Lot: "Janganlah kiranya ada perkelahian antara aku dan engkau, dan antara para gembalaku dan para gembalamu, sebab kita ini kerabat.
Kej 13:9 Bukankah seluruh negeri ini terbuka untuk engkau? Baiklah pisahkan dirimu dari padaku; jika engkau ke kiri, maka aku ke kanan, jika engkau ke kanan, maka aku ke kiri."
Kej 13:10 Lalu Lot melayangkan pandangnya dan dilihatnyalah, bahwa seluruh Lembah Yordan banyak airnya, seperti taman TUHAN, seperti tanah Mesir, sampai ke Zoar. --Hal itu terjadi sebelum TUHAN memusnahkan Sodom dan Gomora. --
Kej 13:11 Sebab itu Lot memilih baginya seluruh Lembah Yordan itu, lalu ia berangkat ke sebelah timur dan mereka berpisah.
Kej 13:12 Abram menetap di tanah Kanaan, tetapi Lot menetap di kota-kota Lembah Yordan dan berkemah di dekat Sodom.
Kej 13:13 Adapun orang Sodom sangat jahat dan berdosa terhadap TUHAN.
Kej 13:14 Setelah Lot berpisah dari pada Abram, berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Abram: "Pandanglah sekelilingmu dan lihatlah dari tempat engkau berdiri itu ke timur dan barat, utara dan selatan,
Kej 13:15 sebab seluruh negeri yang kaulihat itu akan Kuberikan kepadamu dan kepada keturunanmu untuk selama-lamanya.
Kej 13:16 Dan Aku akan menjadikan keturunanmu seperti debu tanah banyaknya, sehingga, jika seandainya ada yang dapat menghitung debu tanah, keturunanmupun akan dapat dihitung juga.
Kej 13:17 Bersiaplah, jalanilah negeri itu menurut panjang dan lebarnya, sebab kepadamulah akan Kuberikan negeri itu."
Kej 13:18 Sesudah itu Abram memindahkan kemahnya dan menetap di dekat pohon-pohon tarbantin di Mamre, dekat Hebron, lalu didirikannyalah mezbah di situ bagi TUHAN.
Gen 13:1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
Gen 13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Gen 13:3 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;
Gen 13:4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
Gen 13:5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
Gen 13:6 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.
Gen 13:7 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.
Gen 13:8 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.
Gen 13:9 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.
Gen 13:10 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.
Gen 13:11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
Gen 13:12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
Gen 13:13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
Gen 13:14 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:
Gen 13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
Gen 13:16 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.
Gen 13:17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
Gen 13:18 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.
