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

^{6 Ref} and the land hath not suffered them to dwell together, for their substance hath been much, and they have not been able to dwell together;

^{7 Ref} and there is a strife between those feeding Abram's cattle and those feeding Lot's cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite `are' then dwelling in the land.

^{8 Ref} And Abram saith unto Lot, `Let there not, I pray thee, be strife between me and thee, and between my shepherds and thy shepherds, for we `are' men -- brethren.

^{9 Ref} Is not all the land before thee? be parted, I pray thee, from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I to the left.'

^{10 Ref} And Lot lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the whole circuit of the Jordan that it `is' all a watered country (before Jehovah's destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, as Jehovah's garden, as the land of Egypt,) in thy coming toward Zoar,

^{11 Ref} and Lot chooseth for himself the whole circuit of the Jordan; and Lot journeyeth from the east, and they are parted -- a man from his companion;

^{12 Ref} Abram hath dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot hath dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and tenteth unto Sodom;

^{13 Ref} and the men of Sodom `are' evil, and sinners before Jehovah exceedingly.
