1. From Egypt Abram went up to the Negeb with his wife and all that belonged to him, and Lot went with him.
2. Now Abram was very rich in livestock, silver, and gold.
3. From the Negeb he traveled by stages toward Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had formerly stood,
4. the site where he had first built the altar; and there Abram invoked the Lord by name.
5. Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents,
6. so that the land could not support them if they stayed together; their possessions were so great that they could not live together.
