1So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, with his wife and everything he had, and Lot went with him.

1וַיַּעַל֩ אַבְרָ֨ם מִמִּצְרַ֜יִם ה֠וּא וְאִשְׁתּ֧וֹ וְכָל־ אֲשֶׁר־ ל֛וֹ וְל֥וֹט עִמּ֖וֹ הַנֶּֽגְבָּה׃

2Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold.

2וְאַבְרָ֖ם כָּבֵ֣ד מְאֹ֑ד בַּמִּקְנֶ֕ה בַּכֶּ֖סֶף וּבַזָּהָֽב׃

3From the Negev he went from place to place until he came to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had been earlier

3וַיֵּ֙לֶךְ֙ לְמַסָּעָ֔יו מִנֶּ֖גֶב וְעַד־ בֵּֽית־ אֵ֑ל עַד־ הַמָּק֗וֹם אֲשֶׁר־ הָ֨יָה שָׁ֤ם [אהלה] (אָֽהֳלוֹ֙) בַּתְּחִלָּ֔ה בֵּ֥ין בֵּֽית־ אֵ֖ל וּבֵ֥ין הָעָֽי׃

4and where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the LORD.

4אֶל־ מְקוֹם֙ הַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ אֲשֶׁר־ עָ֥שָׂה שָׁ֖ם בָּרִאשֹׁנָ֑ה וַיִּקְרָ֥א שָׁ֛ם אַבְרָ֖ם בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָֽה׃

5Now Lot, who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.

5וְגַם־ לְל֔וֹט הַהֹלֵ֖ךְ אֶת־ אַבְרָ֑ם הָיָ֥ה צֹאן־ וּבָקָ֖ר וְאֹהָלִֽים׃

6But the land could not support them while they stayed together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay together.

6וְלֹא־ נָשָׂ֥א אֹתָ֛ם הָאָ֖רֶץ לָשֶׁ֣בֶת יַחְדָּ֑ו כִּֽי־ הָיָ֤ה רְכוּשָׁם֙ רָ֔ב וְלֹ֥א יָֽכְל֖וּ לָשֶׁ֥בֶת יַחְדָּֽו׃

7And quarreling arose between Abram's herders and Lot's. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time.

7וַֽיְהִי־ רִ֗יב בֵּ֚ין רֹעֵ֣י מִקְנֵֽה־ אַבְרָ֔ם וּבֵ֖ין רֹעֵ֣י מִקְנֵה־ ל֑וֹט וְהַֽכְּנַעֲנִי֙ וְהַפְּרִזִּ֔י אָ֖ז יֹשֵׁ֥ב בָּאָֽרֶץ׃

8So Abram said to Lot, "Let's not have any quarreling between you and me, or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives.

8וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אַבְרָ֜ם אֶל־ ל֗וֹט אַל־ נָ֨א תְהִ֤י מְרִיבָה֙ בֵּינִ֣י וּבֵינֶ֔יךָ וּבֵ֥ין רֹעַ֖י וּבֵ֣ין רֹעֶ֑יךָ כִּֽי־ אֲנָשִׁ֥ים אַחִ֖ים אֲנָֽחְנוּ׃

9Is 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."

9הֲלֹ֤א כָל־ הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ לְפָנֶ֔יךָ הִפָּ֥רֶד נָ֖א מֵעָלָ֑י אִם־ הַשְּׂמֹ֣אל וְאֵימִ֔נָה וְאִם־ הַיָּמִ֖ין וְאַשְׂמְאִֽילָה׃

10Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan toward Zoar was well watered, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)

10וַיִּשָּׂא־ ל֣וֹט אֶת־ עֵינָ֗יו וַיַּרְא֙ אֶת־ כָּל־ כִּכַּ֣ר הַיַּרְדֵּ֔ן כִּ֥י כֻלָּ֖הּ מַשְׁקֶ֑ה לִפְנֵ֣י ׀ שַׁחֵ֣ת יְהוָ֗ה אֶת־ סְדֹם֙ וְאֶת־ עֲמֹרָ֔ה כְּגַן־ יְהוָה֙ כְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם בֹּאֲכָ֖ה צֹֽעַר׃

11So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company:

11וַיִּבְחַר־ ל֣וֹ ל֗וֹט אֵ֚ת כָּל־ כִּכַּ֣ר הַיַּרְדֵּ֔ן וַיִּסַּ֥ע ל֖וֹט מִקֶּ֑דֶם וַיִּפָּ֣רְד֔וּ אִ֖ישׁ מֵעַ֥ל אָחִֽיו׃

12Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom.

12אַבְרָ֖ם יָשַׁ֣ב בְּאֶֽרֶץ־ כְּנָ֑עַן וְל֗וֹט יָשַׁב֙ בְּעָרֵ֣י הַכִּכָּ֔ר וַיֶּאֱהַ֖ל עַד־ סְדֹֽם׃

13Now the people of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

13וְאַנְשֵׁ֣י סְדֹ֔ם רָעִ֖ים וְחַטָּאִ֑ים לַיהוָ֖ה מְאֹֽד׃

14The 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.

14וַֽיהוָ֞ה אָמַ֣ר אֶל־ אַבְרָ֗ם אַחֲרֵי֙ הִפָּֽרֶד־ ל֣וֹט מֵֽעִמּ֔וֹ שָׂ֣א נָ֤א עֵינֶ֙יךָ֙ וּרְאֵ֔ה מִן־ הַמָּק֖וֹם אֲשֶׁר־ אַתָּ֣ה שָׁ֑ם צָפֹ֥נָה וָנֶ֖גְבָּה וָקֵ֥דְמָה וָיָֽמָּה׃

15All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever.

15כִּ֧י אֶת־ כָּל־ הָאָ֛רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־ אַתָּ֥ה רֹאֶ֖ה לְךָ֣ אֶתְּנֶ֑נָּה וּֽלְזַרְעֲךָ֖ עַד־ עוֹלָֽם׃

16I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted.

16וְשַׂמְתִּ֥י אֶֽת־ זַרְעֲךָ֖ כַּעֲפַ֣ר הָאָ֑רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֣ר ׀ אִם־ יוּכַ֣ל אִ֗ישׁ לִמְנוֹת֙ אֶת־ עֲפַ֣ר הָאָ֔רֶץ גַּֽם־ זַרְעֲךָ֖ יִמָּנֶֽה׃

17Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you."

17ק֚וּם הִתְהַלֵּ֣ךְ בָּאָ֔רֶץ לְאָרְכָּ֖הּ וּלְרָחְבָּ֑הּ כִּ֥י לְךָ֖ אֶתְּנֶֽנָּה׃

18So Abram went to live near the great trees of Mamre at Hebron, where he pitched his tents. There he built an altar to the LORD.

18וַיֶּאֱהַ֣ל אַבְרָ֗ם וַיָּבֹ֛א וַיֵּ֛שֶׁב בְּאֵלֹנֵ֥י מַמְרֵ֖א אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּחֶבְר֑וֹן וַיִּֽבֶן־ שָׁ֥ם מִזְבֵּ֖חַ לַֽיהוָֽה׃ פ
