3And he went on his journeys from the South even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Ai,

3And he goeth on his journeyings from the south, even unto Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the commencement, between Bethel and Hai--

3And travelling on from the South, he came to Beth-el, to the place where his tent had been before, between Beth-el and Ai;

6And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

6and the land hath not suffered them to dwell together, for their substance hath been much, and they have not been able to dwell together;

6So that the land was not wide enough for the two of them: their property was so great that there was not room for them together.

6And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

7And there was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.

7and there is a strife between those feeding Abram's cattle and those feeding Lot's cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite <FI>are<Fi> then dwelling in the land.

7And there was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.

8And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we are brethren.

8And Abram saith unto Lot, `Let there not, I pray thee, be strife between me and thee, and between my shepherds and thy shepherds, for we <FI>are<Fi> men--brethren.

8Then Abram said to Lot, Let there be no argument between me and you, and between my herdmen and your herdmen, for we are brothers.

8And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we are brethren.

9Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou take the right hand, then I will go to the left.

9Is not all the land before thee? be parted, I pray thee, from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I to the left.'

9Is not all the land before you? then let us go our separate ways: if you go to the left, I will go to the right; or if you take the right, I will go to the left.

9Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou take the right hand, then I will go to the left.

10And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the Plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before Jehovah destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar.

10And Lot lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the whole circuit of the Jordan that it <FI>is<Fi> all a watered country (before Jehovah's destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, as Jehovah's garden, as the land of Egypt,) in thy coming toward Zoar,

11and Lot chooseth for himself the whole circuit of the Jordan; and Lot journeyeth from the east, and they are parted--a man from his companion;

11So Lot took for himself all the valley of Jordan, and went to the east, and they were parted from one another.

11So Lot chose him all the Plain of the Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

15for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

15for the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed--to the age.

15For all the land which you see I will give to you and to your seed for ever.

15for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

16And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then may thy seed also be numbered.

16And I have set thy seed as dust of the earth, so that, if one is able to number the dust of the earth, even thy seed is numbered;

16And I will make your children like the dust of the earth, so that if the dust of the earth may be numbered, then will your children be numbered.

16And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then may thy seed also be numbered.

17Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it.

17rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to thee I give it.'

17Come, go through all the land from one end to the other for I will give it to you.

17Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it.
