Génesis 13

1Subiu, pois, Abrão do Egito até o Sul de Canaã, ele e sua mulher, com tudo o que tinha, e com ele Ló. 2E Abrão era riquíssimo em gado, em prata e ouro. 3E voltou por suas jornadas da parte do Sul até Betel, até o lugar onde havia estado antes sua tenda entre Betel e Ai; 4Ao lugar do altar que havia feito ali antes: e invocou ali Abrão o nome do SENHOR. 5E também Ló, que andava com Abrão, tinha ovelhas, e vacas, e tendas. 6E a terra não os podia sustentar para que habitassem juntos; porque a riqueza deles era muita, e não podiam morar num mesmo lugar. 7E houve briga entre os pastores do gado de Abrão e os pastores do gado de Ló: e os cananeus e os ferezeus habitavam então na terra. 8Então Abrão disse a Ló: Não haja agora briga entre mim e ti, entre meus pastores e os teus, porque somos irmãos. 9Não está toda a terra diante de ti? Eu te rogo que te separes de mim. Se fores à esquerda, eu irei à direita: e se tu à direita, eu irei à esquerda. 10E levantou Ló seus olhos, e viu toda a planície do Jordão, que toda ela era bem regada, antes que destruísse o SENHOR a Sodoma e a Gomorra, como o jardim do SENHOR, como a terra do Egito entrando em Zoar. 11Então Ló escolheu para si toda a planície do Jordão: e partiu-se Ló ao Oriente, e separaram-se um do outro. 12Abrão assentou na terra de Canaã, e Ló assentou nas cidades da planície, e foi pondo suas tendas até Sodoma. 13Mas os homens de Sodoma eram maus e pecadores para com o SENHOR em grande maneira. 14E o SENHOR disse a Abrão, depois que Ló se separou dele: Levanta agora teus olhos, e olha desde o lugar onde estás até o norte, e ao sul, e ao oriente e ao ocidente; 15Porque toda a terra que vês, a darei a ti e à tua descendência para sempre. 16E farei tua descendência como o pó da terra: que se alguém puder contar o pó da terra, também tua descendência será contada. 17Levanta-te, vai pela terra ao longo dela e à sua largura; porque a ti a tenho de dar. 18Abrão, pois, removendo sua tenda, veio e morou nos carvalhos de Manre, que é em Hebrom, e edificou ali altar ao SENHOR.

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.
