New King James Version
8 So Abram said to Lot, (A)“Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren. 9 (B)Is not the whole land before you? Please (C)separate from me. (D)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.”
10 And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all (E)the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the Lord (F)destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) (G)like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go toward (H)Zoar.
