Genesis 13:12-18 ▼

12 Abram has dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot has dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and moves [his] tent to Sodom;

13 and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before YHWH exceedingly.

14 And YHWH said to Abram, after Lot’s being parted from him, “Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you [are], northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward;

15 for the whole of the land which you are seeing, I give it to you and to your Seed for all time.

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

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

18 And Abram moves [his] tent, and comes, and dwells among the oaks of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and builds there an altar to YHWH.
