5 ¶ And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

6 And f 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.

7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: hand the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.

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.

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.

10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all TM the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, n ch. 19. 24, 25. before the LORD "destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto P Zoar.
