8 So Abram said to Lot, “Please don't let's have arguments between us, or between our herdsmen, because we're family.9 You see all this land that's available right in front of you? We have to split up. If you choose to go to the left, I'll go to the right. If you choose to go to the right, I'll go to the left.”

10 Lot looked over the whole Jordan valley towards Zoar, and saw that it was well-watered, looking like the Garden of Eden, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)11 So Lot chose the whole Jordan valley and went east, and the two separated from each other.12 Abram went to live in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled down among the towns in the valley, setting up his tents near Sodom.13 (The people of Sodom were very wicked, committing terrible sins that offended the Lord.)
