Genesis 13:12-18

Abram and Lot Separate

12 Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom. 13 Now the men of Sodom n were wicked, great sinners against the Lord.

14 The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, "Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, o northward and southward and eastward and westward, 15 for all the land that you see I will give p to you and q to your offspring forever. 16 r I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted. 17 Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you." 18 So Abram moved his tent and came and s settled by the t oaks 1 of Mamre, which u are at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the Lord.
