1Abram zog von Ägypten in den Negeb hinauf, er und seine Frau mit allem, was ihm gehörte, und mit ihm auch Lot.2Abram hatte einen sehr ansehnlichen Besitz an Vieh, Silber und Gold.3Er ging von einem Lagerplatz zum anderen weiter, vom Negeb bis nach Bet-El, bis zu der Stätte, an der anfangs sein Zelt gestanden hatte, zwischen Bet-El und Ai, (1Mo 12,8)4der Stätte, an der er früher den Altar errichtet hatte. Dort rief Abram den Namen des HERRN an.5Auch Lot, der mit Abram ging, besaß Schafe und Ziegen, Rinder und Zelte.6Das Land reichte nicht hin, dass sich beide nebeneinander darin hätten ansiedeln können; denn ihr Besitz war zu groß und so konnten sie sich nicht miteinander niederlassen.7So entstand Streit zwischen den Hirten der Herde Abrams und den Hirten der Herde Lots; auch siedelten damals noch die Kanaaniter und die Perisiter im Land.8Da sagte Abram zu Lot: Zwischen mir und dir, zwischen meinen und deinen Hirten soll es keinen Streit geben; wir sind doch Brüder.9Liegt nicht das ganze Land vor dir? Trenn dich also von mir! Wenn du nach links willst, gehe ich nach rechts; wenn du nach rechts willst, gehe ich nach links.10Lot erhob seine Augen und sah, dass die ganze Jordangegend überall bewässert war. Bevor der HERR Sodom und Gomorra vernichtete, war sie bis Zoar hin wie der Garten des HERRN, wie das Land Ägypten. (1Mo 19,24)11Da wählte sich Lot die ganze Jordangegend aus. Lot brach nach Osten auf und sie trennten sich voneinander.12Abram ließ sich im Land Kanaan nieder, während Lot sich in den Städten jener Gegend niederließ und seine Zelte bis Sodom hin aufschlug.13Die Männer von Sodom aber waren sehr böse und sündigten vor dem HERRN.14Nachdem sich Lot von Abram getrennt hatte, sprach der HERR zu Abram: Erheb deine Augen und schau von der Stelle, an der du stehst, nach Norden und Süden, nach Osten und Westen!15Das ganze Land nämlich, das du siehst, will ich dir und deinen Nachkommen für immer geben. (1Mo 17,8; 1Mo 26,3; 1Mo 28,13)16Ich mache deine Nachkommen zahlreich wie den Staub auf der Erde. Nur wer den Staub auf der Erde zählen kann, wird auch deine Nachkommen zählen können. (1Mo 28,14; 4Mo 23,10)17Mach dich auf, durchzieh das Land in seiner Länge und Breite; denn dir werde ich es geben.18Da zog Abram mit seinen Zelten weiter und ließ sich bei den Eichen von Mamre in Hebron nieder. Dort baute er dem HERRN einen Altar. (1Mo 12,8)
1So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the Negeb. (1Mo 12,9)2Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. (1Mo 24,35; Ps 112,1; Spr 10,22)3And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,4to the place where he had made an altar at the first. And there Abram called upon the name of the LORD. (1Mo 12,7; 1Mo 12,8)5And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents,6so that the land could not support both of them dwelling together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together, (1Mo 36,6; 1Mo 36,7)7and there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were dwelling in the land. (1Mo 12,6; 1Mo 26,20)8Then Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, for we are kinsmen.[1] (Apg 7,26; 1Kor 6,1)9Is 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.” (1Mo 20,15; 1Mo 34,10)10And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the Jordan Valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) (1Mo 2,8; 1Mo 14,2; 1Mo 14,8; 1Mo 19,17; 1Mo 19,22; 1Mo 19,24; 1Mo 19,25; 1Mo 19,28; 5Mo 34,3; 1Kön 7,46; Jes 51,3; Hes 28,13; Joe 2,3; Mt 3,5)11So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley, and Lot journeyed east. Thus they separated from each other.12Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom.13Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the LORD. (1Mo 18,20; Hes 16,49; 2Petr 2,7; 2Petr 2,8)14The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward, (1Mo 28,14)15for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever. (1Mo 12,7; 1Mo 15,18; 1Mo 17,8; 1Mo 24,7; 1Mo 26,4; 1Mo 28,13; 1Mo 35,12; 5Mo 34,4; 2Chr 20,7; Apg 7,5)16I 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. (1Mo 22,17; 1Mo 28,14; 1Mo 32,12; 4Mo 23,10; 1Kön 3,8; 1Kön 15,5)17Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.”18So Abram moved his tent and came and settled by the oaks[2] of Mamre, which are at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the LORD. (1Mo 12,6; 1Mo 14,13; 1Mo 35,27)

King James Version
1And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.2And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.3And 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;4Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.5And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.6And 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.7And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram' cattle and the herdmen of Lot' cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.8And 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.9Is 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.10And 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.11Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.12Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.13But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.14And 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:15For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.16And 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.17Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.18Then 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.
1So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, with his wife and everything he had, and Lot went with him.2Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold.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 earlier4and where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the Lord.5Now Lot, who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.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.7And quarrelling arose between Abram’s herdsmen and Lot’s. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time.8So Abram said to Lot, ‘Let’s not have any quarrelling between you and me, or between your herdsmen and mine, for we are close relatives.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.’10Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan towards Zoar was well watered, like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)11So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out towards the east. The two men parted company:12Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom.13Now the people of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the Lord.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.15All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring[1] for ever.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.17Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you.’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.
