In context

6 And the land suffered them not to dwell together,—because their substance had become, great, so that they could not dwell together.

7 And there arose a strife betwixt the herdmen of Abram, and the herdmen of Lot. Now the Canaanite and the Perizzite, were then dwelling in the land.

8 So then Abram said unto Lot Pray let not cause of strife arise betwixt me and thee, or betwixt my herdmen and thy herdmen; for brethren, are we.

9 Is not, all the land, before thee? I pray thee, separate thyself from me,—if to the left hand, then I will go to the right, if to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

10 So Lot lifted up his eyes and beheld all the circuit of the Jordan, that the whole of it, was well-watered,—before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the Garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as thou enterest into Zoar.

11 And Lot chose for himself all the circuit of the Jordan, so Lot brake up eastwards,—and they separated themselves, each man from his brother:

12 Abram, fixed his dwelling in the land of Canaan,—but, Lot, fixed his dwelling among the cities, of the circuit, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
