Genesis 13:7

Read in context

Genesis 13:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.

6 But the land was unable to support both of them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to coexist.

7 And there was discord between the herdsmen of Abram and the herdsmen of Lot. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were also living in the land.

8 So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no contention between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen. After all, we are brothers.

9 Is not the whole land before you? Now separate yourself 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.”
