1
Then Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, to the South.
2
Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
3
And he went on his journey from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
4
to the place of the altar which he had made there at first. And there Abram called on the name of the Lord.
5
Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents.
6
Now the land was not able to support them, that they might dwell together, for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together.
7
And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites then dwelt in the land.
