1. Abram went up out of Egypt—he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him—into the South.
2. Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
3. He went on his journeys from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
4. to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the Lord’s name.
5. Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, herds, and tents.
6. The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their possessions were so great that they couldn’t live together.
7. There was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land at that time.
