Abram and Lot fight with each other The land could not support both of them living together For their possessions were so great that they could not live together There was strife between the herders of Abram’s livestock and the herders of Lot’s livestock. Lot also had flocks and herds and tents

Let there be no strife between you and me and between your herders and my herders. For we are kindred Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left.

Raise your eyes now, and look from the place where you are northward and southward and eastward and westward. For all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever. I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth If one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted. Rise up, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.
