창세기 13

1아브람이 애굽에서 나올새 그와 그 아내와 모든 소유며 롯도 함께하여 남방으로 올라가니 2아브람에게 육축과 은금이 풍부하였더라 3그가 남방에서부터 발행하여 벧엘에 이르며 벧엘과 아이 사이 전에 장막 쳤던 곳에 이르니 4그가 처음으로 단을 쌓은 곳이라 그가 거기서 여호와의 이름을 불렀더라 5아브람의 일행 롯도 양과 소와 장막이 있으므로 6그 땅이 그들의 동거함을 용납지 못하였으니 곧 그들의 소유가 많아서 동거할 수 없었음이라 7그러므로 아브람의 가축의 목자와 롯의 가축의 목자가 서로 다투고 또 가나안 사람과 브리스 사람도 그 땅에 거하였는지라 8아브람이 롯에게 이르되 우리는 한 골육이라 나나 너나 내 목자나 네 목자나 서로 다투게 말자 9네 앞에 온 땅이 있지 아니하냐 나를 떠나라 네가 좌하면 나는 우하고 네가 우하면 나는 좌하리라 10이에 롯이 눈을 들어 요단 들을 바라본즉 소알까지 온 땅에 물이 넉넉하니 여호와께서 소돔과 고모라를 멸하시기 전이었는고로 여호와의 동산 같고 애굽 땅과 같았더라 11그러므로 롯이 요단 온 들을 택하고 동으로 옮기니 그들이 서로 떠난지라 12아브람은 가나안 땅에 거하였고 롯은 평지 성읍들에 머무르며 그 장막을 옮겨 소돔까지 이르렀더라 13소돔 사람은 악하여 여호와 앞에 큰 죄인이었더라 14롯이 아브람을 떠난 후에 여호와께서 아브람에게 이르시되 너는 눈을 들어 너 있는 곳에서 동서남북을 바라보라 15보이는 땅을 내가 너와 네 자손에게 주리니 영원히 이르리라 16내가 네 자손으로 땅의 티끌 같게 하리니 사람이 땅의 티끌을 능히 셀 수 있을진대 네 자손도 세리라 17너는 일어나 그 땅을 종과 횡으로 행하여 보라 내가 그것을 네게 주리라 18이에 아브람이 장막을 옮겨 헤브론에 있는 마므레 상수리 수풀에 이르러 거하며 거기서 여호와를 위하여 단을 쌓았더라

1Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South. 2Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3He went on his journeys from the South even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, 4to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on Yahweh’s name. 5Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. 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. 7There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time. 8Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives. 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.” 10Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar. 11So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves the one from the other. 12Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom. 13Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh. 14Yahweh said to Abram, 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, 15for all the land which you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever. 16I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then your seed may also be numbered. 17Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you.” 18Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.

1Alzo toog Abram op uit Egypte naar het zuiden, hij en zijn huisvrouw, en al wat hij had, en Lot met hem. 2En Abram was zeer rijk, in vee, in zilver, en in goud. 3En hij ging, volgens zijn reizen, van het zuiden tot Beth-El toe, tot aan de plaats, waar zijn tent in het begin geweest was, tussen Beth-El, en tussen Ai; 4Tot de plaats des altaars, dat hij in het eerst daar gemaakt had; en Abram heeft aldaar den Naam des HEEREN aangeroepen. 5En Lot, die met Abram toog, had ook schapen, en runderen, en tenten. 6En dat land droeg hen niet, om samen te wonen; want hun have was vele, zodat zij samen niet konden wonen. 7En er was twist tussen de herders van Abrams vee, en tussen de herders van Lots vee. Ook woonden toen de Kanaanieten en Ferezieten in dat land. 8En Abram zeide tot Lot: Laat toch geen twisting zijn tussen mij en tussen u, en tussen mijn herders en tussen uw herders; want wij zijn mannen broeders. 9Is niet het ganse land voor uw aangezicht? Scheid u toch van mij; zo gij de linkerhand kiest, zo zal ik ter rechterhand gaan; en zo gij de rechterhand, zo zal ik ter linkerhand gaan. 10En Lot hief zijn ogen op, en hij zag de ganse vlakte der Jordaan, dat zij die geheel bevochtigde; eer de HEERE Sodom en Gomorra verdorven had, was zij als de hof des HEEREN, als Egypteland, als gij komt te Zoar. 11Zo koos Lot voor zich de ganse vlakte der Jordaan, en Lot trok tegen het oosten; en zij werden gescheiden, de een van den ander. 12Abram dan woonde in het land Kanaan; en Lot woonde in de steden der vlakte, en sloeg tenten tot aan Sodom toe. 13En de mannen van Sodom waren boos, en grote zondaars tegen den HEERE. 14En de HEERE zeide tot Abram, nadat Lot van hem gescheiden was: Hef uw ogen op, en zie van de plaats, waar gij zijt noordwaarts en zuidwaarts, en oostwaarts en westwaarts. 15Want al dit land, dat gij ziet, zal Ik u geven, en aan uw zaad, tot in eeuwigheid. 16En Ik zal uw zaad stellen als het stof der aarde, zodat, indien iemand het stof der aarde zal kunnen tellen, zal ook uw zaad geteld worden. 17Maak u op, wandel door dit land, in zijn lengte en in zijn breedte, want Ik zal het u geven. 18En Abram sloeg tenten op, en kwam en woonde aan de eikenbossen van Mamre, die bij Hebron zijn; en hij bouwde aldaar den HEERE een altaar.
