⁸ So Abram said to Lot,^(A) “Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me,^(B) or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives.^{(C) 9} Is not the whole land before you? Let’s part company. If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right; if you go to the right, I’ll go to the left.”^(D)

¹⁸ So Abram went to live near the great trees of Mamre^(F) at Hebron,^(G) where he pitched his tents. There he built an altar to the Lord.^(H)
