9 Is not the whole land available? Please separate from me. If you prefer the left, I will go to the right; if you prefer the right, I will go to the left.”
10 Lot looked about and saw how abundantly watered the whole Jordan Plain was as far as Zoar, like the Lord’s own garden, or like Egypt. This was before the Lord had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
11 Lot, therefore, chose for himself the whole Jordan Plain and set out eastward. Thus they separated from each other.
12 Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the Plain, pitching his tents near Sodom.
13 Now the inhabitants of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the Lord.
14 After Lot had parted from him, the Lord said to Abram: Look about you, and from where you are, gaze to the north and south, east and west;
15 all the land that you see I will give to you and your descendants forever.
