6 And the land was not able to bear them so that they
might dwell together: for their substance was great, so
that they could not dwell together.
7 And there was strife between the herdsmen of Avram's
cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle: and the Kanaanites
and the Perizzites dwelt then in the land.
8 And Avram said to Lot, Let there be no strife, please,
between you, and me and between my herdsmen and your
herdsmen, for we are brothers.
9 Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself,
please, from me: if you will take the left hand, then I will
go to the right; or if you depart to the right hand, then I
will go to the left.
10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of
Yarden, that it was well watered everywhere, before vuvh
destroyed Sedom and Amorah, even as the Gan Ayden of
vuvh, like the land of Mitzrayim, as you come to Tzoar.
11 Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Yarden;
and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves
from one another.
12 Avram dwelt in the land of Kanaan, and Lot dwelt in
the cities of the plain, and camped his tent toward Sedom.
13 But the men of Sedom were wicked and sinners before
vuvh exceedingly.
14 And vuvh said to Avram, after Lot was separated from
him, Lift up now yours eyes, and look from the place
where you are northward, and southward, and eastward,
and westward:
15 For all the land which you see, to you will I give it,
and to your zera le-olam-va-ed. 62
16 And I will make your zera as the dust of the earth: so
that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then your
zera also can be numbered. 63
17 Arise, walk through the land in the length and in the
width, for I will give it to you.
18 Then Avram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in
the plain of Mamre, which is in Hevron, and built there an
altar to vuvh.
14 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel melech
of Shinar, Arioch melech of Ellasar, Chedarlaomer
melech of Eylam, and Tidal melech of nations,
2 That these made war with Bera melech of Sedom, and
with Birsha melech of Amorah, Shinav melech of Admah,
and Shemever melech of Zevoiim, and the melech of
Bela, which is Tzoar.
3 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim,
which is the Salt Sea.
4 Twelve years they served Chedarlaomer, and in the
thirteenth year they rebelled.
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedarlaomer, and the
melechim that were with him, and smote the Rephalim in
Ashteroth Karnayim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the
Emims in Shaveh Kiryat-Aim,
6 And the Horites in their Mount Seir, to El-Paran, which
is by the wilderness.
7 And they returned, and came to En-Mishpat, which is
Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and
also the Amorites that dwelt in Hatzazon-Tamar.
8 And there went out the melech of Sedom, and the
melech of Amorah, and the melech of Admah, and the
melech of Zevoiim, and the melech of Bela (the same is
Tzoar), and they joined battle with them in the

vale of Siddim;
9 With Chedarlaomer the melech of Eylam, and with
Tidal melech of nations, and Amraphel melech of Shinar,
and Arioch melech of Ellasar; four melechim against five.
10 And the vale of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the
melechim of Sedom and Amorah fled, and fell there; and
they that remained fled to the mountain.
11 And they took all the items of Sedom and Amorah,
and all their food, and went their way.
12 And they took Lot, Avram's brother's son, who dwelt
in Sedom, and his items, and departed.
13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Avram
the Ivri; 64 for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the
Amorite, brother of Eschol, and brother of Aner: and
these were in a brit with Avram.
14 And when Avram heard that his brother was taken
captive, he armed his trained avadim, born in his own
bayit, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them to
Dan.
15 And he divided himself against them, he and his
avadim, by night, and smote them, and pursued them to
Hovah, which is on the left hand of Dameshek.
16 And he brought back all the items, and also brought
again his brother Lot, and his items, and the women also,
and the people.
17 And the melech of Sedom went out to meet him after
his return from the slaughter of Chedarlaomer, and of the
melechim that were with him, at the Valley of Shaveh,
which is the melech's valley.
18 And Melech-Tzedek melech of Salem brought out
lechem and wine: and he was the kohen of El-Elyon. 65
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Avram of El-
Elyon, Possessor of the shamayim and earth:
20 And blessed be El-Elyon, who has delivered your
enemies into your hand.
And he paid him the ma’aser of all. 66
21 And the melech of Sedom said to Avram, Give me the
persons, and take the items to yourself.
22 And Avram said to the melech of Sedom, I have lifted
up my hand to vuvh, El-Elyon, the Possessor of the
shamayim and earth,
23 That I will not take from you a thread, or even a shoe
latchet, and that I will not take anything that is yours, lest
you should say, I have made Avram rich:
24 Except what the young men have eaten, and the
portion of the men who went with me. Aner, Eshcol, and
Mamre. Let them take their portion.
15
After these things the word of vuvh came to Avram
in a vision, saying, Fear not, Avram: I am your shield,
and your exceeding great reward.
2 And Avram said, Master vuvh, what will You give me,
seeing I go childless, and the steward of my bayit is this
Eliezer of Dameshek?
3 And Avram said, See, to me You have given no zera:
and, see, one born in my bayit is my heir.
4 And, see, the Word of vuvh came to him, saying, This
shall not be your heir; but he that shall come out of your
own bowels shall be your heir. 67
5 And He brought him out abroad, and said, Look now
toward the shamayim, and count the cochavim, if you are
able to number them: and He said to him, So shall your
zera be. 68
