13 Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against the Lord.
14 After Lot had departed from him, the Lord said to Abram, “Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward.
15 All the land that you see I will give to you and to your descendants forever.
16 I will make your descendants like the dust of the earth, so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants could also be numbered.
17 Arise, and walk throughout the land across its length and its width, for I will give it to you.”
18 So Abram moved his tent and came and settled by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar to the Lord there.
