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.

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.13.8
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.)

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
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."

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."

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