away, and his wife, and all that he had.
13:1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he
had, and Lot with him, into the south.
13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
13:3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the
place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
13:4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first:
and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
13:5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and
tents.
13:6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell
together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell
together.
13:7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and
the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled
then in the land.
13:8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee,
between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be
