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.
12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot adwelt in the cities of the plain and bpitched his tent even as far as Sodom.
13 But the men of Sodom awere exceedingly wicked and bsinful against the Lord.
14 And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot ahad separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—bnorthward, southward, eastward, and westward;
15 for all the land which you see aI give to you and byour descendants forever.
16 And aI will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered.
17 Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.”
18 aThen Abram moved his tent, and went and bdwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamre, cwhich are in Hebron, and built an daltar there to the Lord.
