Genesis 13 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Gen 13:1Avram went up out of Mitzrayim: he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.
Gen 13:2Avram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Gen 13:3He went on his journeys from the South even to Beit-El, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beit-El and `Ai,
Gen 13:4to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Avram called on the name of the LORD.
Gen 13:5Lot also, who went with Avram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
Gen 13:6The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together: for their substance was great, so that they could not live together.
Gen 13:7There was a strife between the herdsmen of Avram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle: and the Kana`ani and the Perizzi lived then in the land.
Gen 13:8Avram said to Lot, "Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.
Gen 13:9Isn't the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left."
Gen 13:10Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Yarden, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sedom and `Amorah, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Mitzrayim, as you go to Tzo`ar.
Gen 13:11So Lot chose the Plain of the Yarden for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves the one from the other.
Gen 13:12Avram lived in the land of Kana`an, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sedom.
Gen 13:13Now the men of Sedom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against the LORD.
Gen 13:14The LORD said to Avram, after Lot was separated from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
Gen 13:15for all the land which you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever.
Gen 13:16I will make your offspring as the dust of the eretz, so that if a man can number the dust of the eretz, then your seed may also be numbered.
Gen 13:17Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it to you."
Gen 13:18Avram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hevron, and built an altar there to the LORD.
