8 So Abram said to Lot, 1 Cor. 6:7; (Phil. 2:14, 15)"Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren. 9 Gen. 20:15; 34:10Is not the whole land before you? Please Gen. 13:11, 14separate from me. (Rom. 12:18)If youtake the left, then I will go to the right; or, if yougo to the right, then I will go to the left."
10 And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all Gen. 19:17–29; Deut. 34:3the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the LordGen. 19:24destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) Gen. 2:8, 10; Is. 51:3like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go toward Gen. 14:2, 8; 19:22; Deut. 34:3Zoar. 11 Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated from each other.
