Than Abram departed out of Egipte/ both he and his wyfe and all that
he had/ and Lot wyth hym vnto the south. Abram was very rych in
catell/ syluer & gold. And he went on his iourney frõ the south even
vnto BETHEL/ ãd vnto the place where his tente was at the fyrst tyme
betwene BETHEL and Ay/ and vnto the place of the aulter which he made
before. And there called Abram vpon the name of the LORde.
Lot also which went wyth hym had shepe/ catell and tentes: so that the
londe was not abill to receaue/ them that they myght dwell to gether/
for the substance of their riches was so greate/ that they coude not
dwell to gether And there fell a stryfe betwene the herdmen of Abrams
catell/ and the herdmen of Lots catell. Moreouer the Cananytes and the
Pherysites dwelled at that tyme in the lande.
Than sayd Abram vnto Lot: let there be no stryfe I praye the betwene
the and me and betwene my herdmen and thyne/ for we be brethren. Ys
not all the hole lande before the? Departe I praye the frõ me. Yf thou
wylt take the lefte hande/ I wyll take the right: Or yf thou take the
right hande I wyll take the left. And Lot lyft vp hys eyes and beheld
all the contre aboute Iordane/ which was a plenteous contre of water
every where/ before the LORde destroyed Sodoma and Gomorra. Even as
the garden of the LORde/ & as the lande of Egipte tyll thou come to
Zoar.
Than Lot chose all the costes of Iordane ãd toke hys iourney from the
east. And so departed the one brother from the other. Abram dwelled in
the lande of Canaan. And lot in the cytes of the playne/ & tented tyll
he came to Sodome. But the men of sodome were wyked and synned
exceadyngly agenst the LORde.
And the LORde sayed vnto Abram/ after that Lot was departed from hym:
lyfte vp thyne eyes & loke from y^e place where thou art/ northward/
southward/ eastward and westward/ for all the lande which thou seiste
wyll I gyue vnto the & to thy seed forever. And I wyll make thy seed/
as the dust of the erth: so that yf a mã can nombre the dust of the
erth/ than shall thy seed also be nombred. Aryse and walke aboute in
the lande/ in the length of it ãd in the bredth for I wyll geue it
vnto the.
Than Abrã toke downe hys tente/ & went and dwelled in the okegrove of
Mamre which is in Ebron and buylded there an altar to the LORde.

Zeboim/ and wyth the kynge of Bela Which Bela is called Zoar. All
these came together vnto the vale of siddim which is now the salt see
Twelve yere were they subiecte to kinge kedorlaomer/ and in the .xiij.
