Et licet videantur esse divitiæ auri et argenti, si autem Ægyptiæ sunt, sancto viro graves sunt; nec, ut in LXX legitur, Abiit unde venerat in desertum usque Bethel, sed, secundum Hebræum, Abiit in itinere suo per austrum usque Bethel. De Ægypto enim profectus est, non ut desertum peteret, quod in Ægypto reliquerat, sed ut per austrum, qui aquiloni contrarius est, veniret ad domum Dei, ubi erat tabernaculum ejus inter Bethel et Hai.

13.1 Ascendit therefore Abram, etc. HIERON. in Q. Hebr. De Ægypto liberatus bene ascendisse legitur, but how potuit dives esse valde?

And licet videantur esse divitiæ auri and argenti, when/but_if however Ægyptiæ are, sancto to_the_man graves sunt; nec, as in LXX legitur, He_went_away whence venerat in desert until Bethel, sed, after/second Hebræum, He_went_away in itinere his_own through austrum until Bethel. De Ægypto because profectus it_is, not/no as desert peteret, that in Ægypto reliquerat, but as through austrum, who aquiloni contrarius it_is, would_come to home of_God, where was tabernaculum his between Bethel and Hai.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יַּעַל֩ אַבְרָ֨ם מִ⁠מִּצְרַ֜יִם

and=he/it_ascended Avram from=Miʦrayim/(Egypt)

The Negev Wilderness (or Desert) is northeast in direction from Egypt and is higher in elevation. Compare how you translated “down” in Gen 12:10 when Abram traveled in the opposite direction. Alternate translation: “So Abram went northeast from the country of Egypt,” or “Then Abram left the land of Egypt,”

ה֠וּא וְ⁠אִשְׁתּ֧⁠וֹ

he/it and=his/its=woman/wife

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “taking with him his wife”

וְ⁠כָל אֲשֶׁר ל֛⁠וֹ

and=all which/who to=him/it

Alternate translation: “and everything that he had,”

וְ⁠ל֥וֹט עִמּ֖⁠וֹ

and=Lōţ with=him/it

Alternate translation: “as well as his nephew Lot,” or “and his nephew Lot went with him”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

הַ⁠נֶּֽגְבָּ⁠ה

towards=the=south

For many languages it is more natural to put this phrase earlier in this verse and say, “Then Abram went up from Egypt and traveled back to the Negev Wilderness/Desert, along with his wife and everything that belonged to him. His nephew Lot also went with them.” Do what is best in your language. Also see how you translated Negev in Gen 12:9, and see the note about that there. Alternate translation: “and they all went back to the Negev Desert.”
