¹ Than Abram departed out of Egipte both he and his wyfe and all that he had and Lot wyth hym vnto the south.

² Abram was very rych in catell syluer and gold.

³ And he went on his iourney fro the south even vnto BETHEL ad vnto the place where his tente was at the fyrst tyme betwene BETHEL and Ay

⁴ and vnto the place of the aulter which he made before. And there called Abram vpon the name of the LORde.

⁵ Lot also which went wyth hym had shepe catell and tentes:

⁶ so that the londe was not abill to receaue them that they myght dwell together for the substance of their riches was so greate that they coude not dwell together

⁷ And there fell a stryfe betwene the herdmen of Abrams catell and the herdmen of Lots catell. Moreouer the Cananytes and the Pherysites dwelled at that tyme in the lande.

⁸ Than sayd Abram vnto Lot: let there be no stryfe I praye the betwene the and me and betwene my herdmen and thyne for we be brethren.

⁹ Ys not all the hole lande before the? Departe I praye the fro me. Yf thou wylt take the lefte hande I wyll take the right: Or yf thou take the right hande I wyll take the left.

¹⁰ And Lot lyft vp hys eyes and beheld all the contre aboute Iordane which was a plenteous contre of water every where before the LORde destroyed Sodoma and Gomorra.Even as the garden of the LORde and as the lande of Egipte tyll thou come to Zoar.

¹¹ Than Lot chose all the costes of Iordane ad toke hys iourney from the east. And so departed the one brother from the other.

¹² Abram dwelled in the lande of Canaan. And lot in the cytes of the playne and tented tyll he came to Sodome.

¹³ But the men of sodome were wyked and synned exceadyngly agenst the LORde.

¹⁴ And the LORde sayed vnto Abram after that Lot was departed from hym: lyfte vp thyne eyes and loke from ye place where thou art northward southward eastward and westward

¹⁵ for all the lande which thou seiste wyll I gyue vnto the and to thy seed for ever.

¹⁶ And I wyll make thy seed as the dust of the erth: so that yf a ma can nombre the dust of the erth than shall thy seed also be nombred.

¹⁷ Aryse and walke aboute in the lande in the length of it ad in the bredth for I wyll geue it vnto the.

¹⁸ Than Abra toke downe hys tente and went and dwelled in the okegrove of Mamre which is in Ebron and buylded there an altar to the LORde.
