2 Now Abram was very wealthy in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
3 And he went according to his journey from the Negev, then to Bethel, to the place where his tent was at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
4 to the place where he had made an altar at the beginning. And Abram called on the name of Yahweh there.
5 And Lot, who went with Abram, also had herds and tents.
6 And the land could not support them so as to live together, because their possessions were so many that they were not able to live together.
7 And there was a quarrel between the herdsmen of the livestock of Abram and the herdsmen of the livestock of Lot. Now at that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land.
8 Then Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there not be quarreling between me and you, and between my shepherds and your shepherds, for we men are brothers.
