8 So Abram said to Lot, "Please, let’s not have quarreling between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, since we are relatives. 9 Isn’t the whole land before you? Separate from me: if you go to the left, I will go to the right; if you go to the right, I will go to the left."
10 Lot looked out and saw that the entire plain 13:10 Lit circle; i.e., probably the large round plain where the Jordan River empties into the Dead Sea, also in v. 11 of the Jordan 13:10 Gn 19:17–29 as far as Zoar 13:10 Gn 14:2,8; Dt 34:3 was well watered everywhere like the Lord’s garden 13:10 Gn 2:8–10 and the land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) 13:10 Gn 19:24–2511 So Lot chose the entire plain of the Jordan for himself. Then Lot journeyed eastward, and they separated from each other.
