Abram and Lot part ways
Their herds grew too large to share the land, so Abram let Lot choose; Lot took the well-watered Jordan plain near Sodom.
Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are relatives.”
Genesis 13:8 (World English Bible)
Abram, the elder, could have chosen first. Instead he offered Lot the pick. Lot chose what looked best, the lush plain of the Jordan, and pitched his tent toward Sodom, a city known for wickedness.
Afterward God told Abram to look in every direction: all the land he could see would belong to his offspring, as countless as the dust of the earth. Abram moved to the oaks of Mamre at Hebron.
