Genesis 13 — Context

10

Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the valley of the Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere--this was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah--like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you go to Zoar.

11

So Lot chose for himself all the valley of the Jordan, and Lot journeyed eastward. Thus they separated from each other.

12

Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled in the cities of the valley, and moved his tents as far as Sodom.

13

Now the men of Sodom were wicked exceedingly and sinners against the LORD.

14

The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, "Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward;

15

for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever.

16

"I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth, so that if anyone can number the dust of the earth, then your descendants can also be numbered.
