Abram and Lot Part Ways

So Abram went up out of Egypt into the Negev— he and his wife and all his possessions and Lot [was] with him. 2 And Abram had become extremely wealthy in livestock and silver and gold.

3 

From the Negev he journeyed from place to place toward Bethel, until he came to the place between vvv Bethel and Ai where his tent had formerly been pitched 4 to the site where he had built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

5 

Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents. 6 But the land was unable to support [both of] them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to coexist 7 And there was discord between the herdsmen of Abram and the herdsmen of Lot At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were also living in the land.

8 

So Abram said to Lot,“Please let there be no contention between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen. After all, we are kinsmen. 9 Is not the whole land before you? Now separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, I will go to the right; if you go to the right, I will go to the left.”
