¹³ and thy herd and thy flock be multiplied, and silver and gold be multiplied to thee; and all that is thine be multiplied:

¹ And Abram goeth up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he hath, and Lot with him) towards the south;

² and Abram `is' exceedingly wealthy in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

³ And he goeth on his journeyings from the south, even unto Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the commencement, between Bethel and Hai --

⁴ unto the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there doth Abram preach in the name of Jehovah.

⁵ And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there hath been sheep and oxen and tents;

³ and his substance is seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred pairs of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a service very abundant; and that man is greater than any of the sons of the east.

⁶ Only, in an image doth each walk habitually, Only, `in' vain, they are disquieted, He heapeth up and knoweth not who gathereth them.

¹³ And a certain one said to him, out of the multitude, `Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.'

¹⁴ And he said to him, `Man, who set me a judge or a divider over you?'

¹⁵ And he said unto them, `Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one's goods is his life.'

¹⁶ And he spake a simile unto them, saying, `Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;

¹⁷ and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where I shall gather together my fruits?

¹⁸ and he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and greater ones I will build, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things,

¹⁹ and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.

²⁰ `And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare -- to whom shall they be?

²¹ so `is' he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.'
