11. So Lot chose the whole Jordan Valley for himself and moved away towards the east. That is how the two men parted.
12. Abram stayed in the land of Canaan, and Lot settled among the cities in the valley and camped near Sodom,
13. whose people were wicked and sinned against the Lord.
14. After Lot had left, the Lord said to Abram, “From where you are, look carefully in all directions.
15. I am going to give you and your descendants all the land that you see, and it will be yours for ever.
16. I am going to give you so many descendants that no one will be able to count them all; it would be as easy to count all the specks of dust on earth!
17. Now, go and look over the whole land, because I am going to give it all to you.”
18. So Abram moved his camp and settled near the sacred trees of Mamre at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the Lord.
