2Now Abram had great wealth of cattle and silver and gold.
3And travelling on from the South, he came to Beth-el, to the place where his tent had been before, between Beth-el and Ai;
4To the place where he had made his first altar, and there Abram gave worship to the name of the Lord.
5And Lot, who went with him, had flocks and herds and tents;
6So that the land was not wide enough for the two of them: their property was so great that there was not room for them together.
7And there was an argument between the keepers of Abram's cattle and the keepers of Lot's cattle: at that time the Canaanites and Perizzites were still living in the land.
8Then Abram said to Lot, Let there be no argument between me and you, and between my herdmen and your herdmen, for we are brothers.
