6 Now athe land was not able to support them, that they might dwell together, for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together.
7 And there was astrife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. bThe Canaanites and the Perizzites then dwelt in the land.
8 So Abram said to Lot, a“Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren.
9 aIs not the whole land before you? Please bseparate from me. cIf you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.”
10 And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all athe plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the Lord bdestroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) clike the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go toward dZoar.
11 Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated from each other.
