11. Then Lot chose for him all the plain of Yarden; and Lot journeyed mikedem (east); and they separated themselves the one from his brother.
12. Avram dwelled in Eretz Kena'an, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his ohel toward Sodom.
13. But the men of Sodom were ra'im and chatta'im before Hashem exceedingly.
14. And Hashem said unto Avram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the makom where thou art northward, and southward and eastward, and westward:
15. For kol ha'aretz which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy zera ad olam (forever).
16. And I will make thy zera as the dust of ha'aretz; so that if a man can number the aphar of ha'aretz, then shall thy zera also be numbered.
17. Arise, walk through ha'aretz in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
