Genesis 13

1 Ἀνέβη δὲ Ἅβραμ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου αὐτὸς, καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ, καὶ Λὼτ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὴν ἔρημον.

2 Ἅβραμ δὲ ἦν πλούσιος σφόδρα κτήνεσι, καὶ ἀργυρίῳ, καὶ χρυσίῳ.

3 Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὅθεν ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ἕως Βαιθὴλ, ἕως τοῦ τόπου οὗ ἦν ἡ σκηνὴ αὐτοῦ τὸ πρότερον, ἀνὰ μέσον Βαιθὴλ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ἀγγαί,

4 εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, οὗ ἐποίησεν ἐκεῖ τὴν ἀρχὴν, καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο ἐκεῖ Ἅβραμ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Κυρίου.

5 Καὶ Λὼτ τῷ συμπορευομένῳ μετὰ Ἅβραμ ἦν πρόβατα, καὶ βόες, καὶ σκηναί.

6 Καὶ οὐκ ἐχώρει αὐτοὺς ἡ γῆ κατοικεῖν ἅμα, ὅτι ἦν τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν πολλά· καὶ οὐκ ἐχώρει αὐτοὺδ ἡ γῆ κατοικεῖν ἅμα.

7 Καὶ ἐγενετο μάχη ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποιμένων τῶν κτηνῶν τοῦ Ἅβραμ, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποιμένων τῶν κτηνῶν τοῦ Λώτ· οἱ δὲ Χαναναῖοι καὶ οἱ Φερεζαῖοι τότε κατῴκουν τὴν γῆν.

8 Εἶπε δὲ Ἅβραμ τῷ Λὼτ, μὴ ἔστω μάχη ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποιμένων μου καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποιμένων σοῦ, ὅτι ἄνθρωποι ἀδελφοὶ ἐσμὲν ἡμεῖς.

9 Οὐκ ἰδοὺ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ ἐναντίον σου ἐστί; διαχωρίσθητι ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ· εἰ σὺ εἰς ἀριστερὰ, ἐγὼ εἰς δεξιά· εἰ δὲ σὺ εἰς δεξιὰ, ἐγὼ εἰς ἀριστερά.

10 Καὶ ἐπάρας Λὼτ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, ἐπεῖδε πᾶσαν τὴν περίχωρον τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, ὅτι πᾶσα ἦν ποτιζομένη, πρὸ τοῦ καταστρέψαι τὸν Θεὸν Σόδομα καὶ Γόμοῤῥα, ὡς ὁ παράδεισος τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ὡς ἡ γῆ Αἰγύπτου, ἕως ἐλθεῖν εἰς Ζόγορα.

11 Καὶ ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ Λὼτ πᾶσαν τὴν περίχωρον τοῦ Ἰορδάνου· καὶ ἀπῇρε Λὼτ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν· καὶ διεχωρίσθησαν ἕκαστος ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ.

12 Ἅβραμ δὲ κατῴκησεν ἐν γῇ Χαναάν· Λὼτ δὲ κατῴκησεν ἐν πόλει τῶν περιχώρων, καὶ ἐσκήνωσεν ἐν Σοδόμοις.

13 Οἱ δὲ ἄνθρωποι οἱ ἐν Σοδόμοις πονηροὶ καὶ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ σφόδρα.

14 Ὁ δὲ Θεὸς εἶπε τῷ Ἅβραμ μετὰ τὸ διαχωρισθῆναι τὸν Λὼτ ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ, ἀνάβλεψον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, καὶ ἴδε ἀπὸ τοῦ τόπου οὗ νῦν σὺ εἶ πρὸς βοῤῥὰν καὶ λίβα καὶ ἀνατολὰς καὶ θάλασσαν·

15 ὅτι πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, ἣν σὺ ὁρᾷς, σοὶ δώσω αὐτὴν καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου ἕως αἰῶνος.

16 Καὶ ποιήσω τὸ σπέρμα σου, ὡς τὴν ἄμμον τῆς γῆς· εἰ δύναταί τις ἐξαριθμῆσαι τὴν ἄμμον τῆς γῆς, καὶ τὸ σπέρμα σου ἐξαριθμηθήσεται.

17 Ἀναστὰς διόδευσον τὴν γῆν εἴς τε τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς καὶ εἰς τὸ πλάτος· ὅτι σοι δώσω αὐτὴν καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

18 Καὶ ἀποσκηνώσας Ἅβραμ, ἐλθὼν κατῴκησε παρὰ τὴν δρῦν τὴν Μαμβρῆ, ἣ ἦν ἐν Χεβρὼμ, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ Κυρίῳ.

1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the wilderness.

2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, and silver, and gold.

3 And he went to the place whence he came, into the wilderness as far as Bæthel, as far as the place where his tent was before, between Bæthel and Aggai,

4 to the place of the altar, which he built there at first, and Abram there called on the name of the Lord.

5 And Lot who went out with Abram had sheep, and oxen, and tents.

cattle.

6 And the land was not large enough for them to live together, because their possessions were great; and the land was not large enough for them to live together.

7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle, and the herdmen of Lot's cattle, and the Chananites and the Pherezites then inhabited the land.

8 And Abram said to Lot, Let there not be a strife between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen, for we are brethren.

men, brethren.

9 Lo! is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself from me; if thou goest to the left, I will go to the right, and if thou goest to the right, I will go to the left.

10 And Lot having lifted up his eyes, observed all the country round about Jordan, that it was all watered, before God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, as the garden of the Lord, and as the land of Egypt, until thou come to Zogora.

11 And Lot chose for himself all the country round Jordan, and Lot went from the east, and they were separated each from his brother. And Abram dwelt in the land of Chanaan.

12 And Lot dwelt in a city of the neighbouring people, and pitched his tent in Sodom.

13 But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God.

14 And God said to Abram after Lot was separated from him, Look up with thine eyes, and behold from the place where thou now art northward and southward, and eastward and seaward;

15 for all the land which thou seest, I will give it to thee and to thy seed for ever.

16 And I will make thy seed like the dust of the earth; if any one is able to number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed be numbered.

17 Arise and traverse the land, both in the length of it and in the breadth; for to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

18 And Abram having removed his tent, came and dwelt by the oak of Mambre, which was in Chebrom, and he there built an altar to the Lord.
