Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Genesis 12
¹⁹ Why did you say, ’She is my sister’? I might have taken her as my wife. Now therefore, here is your wife; take her and go your way."
²⁰ So Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they sent him away, with his wife and all that he had.
Genesis 13
¹ Then Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, to the South.
² Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
³ And he went on his journey from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
⁴ to the place of the altar which he had made there at first. And there Abram called on the name of the Lord.
⁵ Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents.
⁶ Now the land was not able to support them, that they might dwell together, for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together.
⁷ And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites then dwelt in the land.
⁸ So Abram said to Lot, "Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren.
⁹ Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left."
