5 Lot, who was traveling with him, also had sheep, goats, and cattle, as well as his own family and slaves.

8 Abram said to Lot, “We are close relatives. We shouldn't argue, and our men shouldn't be fighting one another.

9 There is plenty of land for you to choose from. Let's separate. If you go north, I'll go south; if you go south, I'll go north.”

10 This happened before the Lord had destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. And when Lot looked around, he saw there was plenty of water in the Jordan Valley. All the way to Zoar the valley was as green as the garden of the Lord or the land of Egypt.

11 So Lot chose the whole Jordan Valley for himself, and as he started out toward the east, he and Abram separated.

12 Abram stayed in the land of Canaan. But Lot settled near the cities of the valley and put up his tents not far from Sodom,

13 where the people were evil and sinned terribly against the Lord.
