12Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
13Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.
14Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
15for all the land which you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever.
16I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then your seed may also be numbered.
17Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it to you."
18Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.
