By now Abram was very rich, loaded with cattle and silver and gold.

Gen.13.2

Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold.

Gen.13.2

Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

Gen.13.2

for Abram was very rich in livestock, silver, and gold.

Gen.13.3

And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;

Gen.13.3

He moved on from the Negev, camping along the way, to Bethel, the place he had first set up his tent between Bethel and Ai

Gen.13.3

From the Negev he went from place to place until he came to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had been earlier

Gen.13.3

And he went on his journey from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

Gen.13.3

Then they continued traveling by stages toward Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where they had camped before.

Gen.13.4

Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

Gen.13.4

and built his first altar. Abram prayed there to GOD.

Gen.13.4

and where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the LORD.

Gen.13.4

to the place of the altar which he had made there at first. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

Gen.13.4

This was the place where Abram had built the altar, and there he again worshiped the LORD.

Gen.13.5

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

Gen.13.5

Lot, who was traveling with Abram, was also rich in sheep and cattle and tents.

Gen.13.5

Now Lot, who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.

Gen.13.5

Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents.

Gen.13.5

Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, was also very wealthy with sheep, cattle, and many tents.

Gen.13.6

And 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.

Gen.13.6

But the land couldn't support both of them; they had too many possessions. They couldn't both live there--

Gen.13.6

But the land could not support them while they stayed together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay together.

Gen.13.6

Now the land was not able to support them, that they might dwell together, for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together.

Gen.13.6

But the land could not support both Abram and Lot with all their flocks and herds living so close together. There were too many animals for the available pastureland.

Gen.13.7

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

Gen.13.7

quarrels broke out between Abram's shepherds and Lot's shepherds. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living on the land at the time.

Gen.13.7

And quarreling arose between Abram's herdsmen and the herdsmen of Lot. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time.

Gen.13.7

And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites then dwelt in the land.

Gen.13.7

So an argument broke out between the herdsmen of Abram and Lot. At that time Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land.

Gen.13.8

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.

Gen.13.8

Abram said to Lot, "Let's not have fighting between us, between your shepherds and my shepherds. After all, we're family.

Gen.13.8

So Abram said to Lot, "Let's not have any quarreling between you and me, or between your herdsmen and mine, for we are brothers.

Gen.13.8

So Abram said to Lot, "Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren.

Gen.13.8

Then Abram talked it over with Lot. "This arguing between our herdsmen has got to stop," he said. "After all, we are close relatives!

Gen.13.9

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.

Gen.13.9

Look around. Isn't there plenty of land out there? Let's separate. If you go left, I'll go right; if you go right, I'll go left."

Gen.13.9

Is not the whole land before you? Let's part company. If you go to the left, I'll go to the right; if you go to the right, I'll go to the left."

Gen.13.9

Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If 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."

Gen.13.9

I'll tell you what we'll do. Take your choice of any section of the land you want, and we will separate. If you want that area over there, then I'll stay here. If you want to stay in this area, then I'll move on to another place."

Gen.13.10

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

Gen.13.10

Lot looked. He saw the whole plain of the Jordan spread out, well watered (this was before GOD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah), like GOD's garden, like Egypt, and stretching all the way to Zoar.

Gen.13.10

Lot looked up and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan was well watered, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, toward Zoar. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)

Gen.13.10

And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar.

Gen.13.10

Lot took a long look at the fertile plains of the Jordan Valley in the direction of Zoar. The whole area was well watered everywhere, like the garden of the LORD or the beautiful land of Egypt. (This was before the LORD had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)

Gen.13.11

Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

Gen.13.11

Lot took the whole plain of the Jordan. Lot set out to the east. That's how they came to part company, uncle and nephew.

Gen.13.11

So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company:

Gen.13.11

Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated from each other.

Gen.13.11

Lot chose that land for himself--the Jordan Valley to the east of them. He went there with his flocks and servants and parted company with his uncle Abram.

Gen.13.12

Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

Gen.13.12

Abram settled in Canaan; Lot settled in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent near Sodom.

Gen.13.12

Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom.

Gen.13.12

Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent even as far as Sodom.

Gen.13.12

So while Abram stayed in the land of Canaan, Lot moved his tents to a place near Sodom, among the cities of the plain.

Gen.13.13

But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

Gen.13.13

The people of Sodom were evil--flagrant sinners against GOD.

Gen.13.13

Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Gen.13.13

But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the LORD.

Gen.13.13

The people of this area were unusually wicked and sinned greatly against the LORD.

Gen.13.14

And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:

Gen.13.14

After Lot separated from him, GOD said to Abram, "Open your eyes, look around. Look north, south, east, and west.

Gen.13.14

The LORD said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, "Lift up your eyes from where you are and look north and south, east and west.

Gen.13.14

And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: "Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are--northward, southward, eastward, and westward;

Gen.13.14

After Lot was gone, the LORD said to Abram, "Look as far as you can see in every direction.

Gen.13.15

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

Gen.13.15

Everything you see, the whole land spread out before you, I will give to you and your children forever.

Gen.13.15

All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever.

Gen.13.15

for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever.

Gen.13.15

I am going to give all this land to you and your offspring as a permanent possession.

Gen.13.16

And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.

Gen.13.16

I'll make your descendants like dust--counting your descendants will be as impossible as counting the dust of the Earth.

Gen.13.16

I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted.

Gen.13.16

And I 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.

Gen.13.16

And I am going to give you so many descendants that, like dust, they cannot be counted!

Gen.13.17

Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.

Gen.13.17

So--on your feet, get moving! Walk through the country, its length and breadth; I'm giving it all to you."

Gen.13.17

Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you."

Gen.13.17

Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you."

Gen.13.17

Take a walk in every direction and explore the new possessions I am giving you."

Gen.13.18

Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.

Gen.13.18

Abram moved his tent. He went and settled by the Oaks of Mamre in Hebron. There he built an altar to GOD. [JC]

Gen.13.18

So Abram moved his tents and went to live near the great trees of Mamre at Hebron, where he built an altar to the LORD.

Gen.13.18

Then Abram moved his tent, and went and dwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to the LORD.

Gen.13.18

Then Abram moved his camp to the oak grove owned by Mamre, which is at Hebron. There he built an altar to the LORD.
