1After that Abram left Egypt. He took his wife and his own younger brother's son Lot, he took all his belongings. Going they all returned to the dry country of Canaan.

ABRAM RETURNED TO BETHEL (13:2-7)

3Camp by camp they were going, they came back to that camp close to Bethel.

4Right there earlier Abram gathered stones, he was talking to God. After returning he again really worshipped God.

2At that time Abram had very many animals, sheep, goats, cattle, donkeys, camels, gold and money, anything.

5Lot also was staying there, he had lots of animals and workers.

7(There were also some inhabitants of that land there, Canaan's mob and Periz's mob.)

6There were no end of animals on that country. Abram's workers and Lot's workers were seaching in vain for grass for the animals.

7Because of that the workers of those two were looking at each other with anger.

ABRAM AND LOT SEPARATED (13:8-18)

8Abram said to Lot, “We two are relatives. We two should stay without anger. My men and yours should stay without anger.

9This country is big. You choose your country. You will go to that country, I will go in another direction.”

10Lot looked around the country eastward, he saw a plain near the river, the name of that river was Jordan. That was good country, with plenty of water, in good condition all the way to Zoar, like the country Egypt. Two towns were in that plain, Sodom and Gomorrah.

11Lot chose that very country. He went east. In that way Abram and Lot separated.

12Abram stayed in Canaan country, Lot made camp on the plain, near the two towns, close to Sodom he made camp.

13Those people in Sodom were disobeyers/ignorers of God. They were really bad.

14After that God said to Abram, “From here look in every direction, northwards, southwards, eastwards and westwards.

15All this country I will give you, for you and for your grandchildren's grandchildren and for those who come after them, forever.

16I will look after them, they will become very many. (People) won't be able to name them.

17I will give you all this country. You will go through this country, you will look at it.” Like that he told Abram.

18After that Abram left that camp, he went to another camp, he was staying at the trees in Mamre, near the town Hebron. Again he heaped up stones, he worshipped God.
