Abram went up to the Negeb with his wife and all that belonged
to him, and Lot went with him.a 2* Now Abram was very rich in
livestock, silver, and gold.b 3From the Negeb he traveled by
stages toward Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where
his tent had formerly stood, 4the site where he had first built
the altar; and there Abram invoked the LORD by name.c 5Lot, who
went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents, 6so that
the land could not support them if they stayed together; their
possessions were so great that they could not live together.
7There were quarrels between the herders of Abram’s livestock
and the herders of Lot’s livestock. At this time the Canaanites
and the Perizzites were living in the land. 8So Abram said to
Lot: “Let there be no strife between you and me, or between your
herders and my herders, for we are kindred. 9Is not the whole
land available?
