1
וַיַּעַל אַבְרָם מִמִּצְרַיִם הוּא וְאִשְׁתּוֹ וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ וְלוֹט עִמּוֹ הַנֶּגְבָּה
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.
Ἀνέβη δὲ Ἅβραμ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου αὐτὸς, καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ, καὶ Λὼτ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὴν ἔρημον.
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the wilderness.
2
וְאַבְרָם כָּבֵד מְאֹד בַּמִּקְנֶה בַּכֶּסֶף וּבַזָּהָב
And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Ἅβραμ δὲ ἦν πλούσιος σφόδρα κτήνεσι, καὶ ἀργυρίῳ, καὶ χρυσίῳ.
And Abram was very rich in cattle, and silver, and gold.
3
וַיֵּלֶךְ לְמַסָּעָיו מִנֶּגֶב וְעַד־בֵּית־אֵל עַד־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר־הָיָה שָׁם אהלה א͏ָהֳלוֹ בַּתְּחִלָּה בֵּין בֵּית־אֵל וּבֵין הָעָי
And he went on his journeys from the South even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Ai;
Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὅθεν ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ἕως Βαιθὴλ, ἕως τοῦ τόπου οὗ ἦν ἡ σκηνὴ αὐτοῦ τὸ πρότερον, ἀνὰ μέσον Βαιθὴλ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ἀγγαί,
And he went [to the place] whence he came, into the wilderness as far as Bethel, as far as the place where his tent was before, between Bethel and Ai,
4
אֶל־מְקוֹם הַמִּזְבֵּחַ אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה שָׁם בָּרִאשֹׁנָה וַיִּקְרָא שָׁם אַבְרָם בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה
unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first; and Abram called there on the name of HaShem.
εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, οὗ ἐποίησεν ἐκεῖ τὴν ἀρχὴν, καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο ἐκεῖ Ἅβραμ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Κυρίου.
to the place of the altar, which he built there at first, and Abram there called on the name of the Lord.
5
וְגַם־לְלוֹט הַהֹלֵךְ אֶת־אַבְרָם הָיָה צֹאן־וּבָקָר וְאֹהָלִים
And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
Καὶ Λὼτ τῷ συμπορευομένῳ μετὰ Ἅβραμ ἦν πρόβατα, καὶ βόες, καὶ σκηναί.
And Lot who went out with Abram had sheep, and oxen, and tents.
6
וְלֹא־נָשָׂא אֹתָם הָאָרֶץ לָשֶׁבֶת יַחְדָּו כִּי־הָיָה רְכוּשָׁם רָב וְלֹא יָכְלוּ לָשֶׁבֶת יַחְדָּו
And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together; for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
Καὶ οὐκ ἐχώρει αὐτοὺς ἡ γῆ κατοικεῖν ἅμα, ὅτι ἦν τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν πολλά· καὶ οὐκ ἐχώρει αὐτοὺδ ἡ γῆ κατοικεῖν ἅμα.
And the land was not large enough for them to live together, because their possessions were great; and the land was not large enough for them to live together.
7
ו͏ַיְהִי־רִיב בֵּין רֹעֵי מִקְנֵה־אַבְרָם וּבֵין רֹעֵי מִקְנֵה־לוֹט וְהַכְּנַעֲנִי וְהַפְּרִזִּי אָז יֹשֵׁב בָּאָרֶץ
And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.
Καὶ ἐγενετο μάχη ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποιμένων τῶν κτηνῶν τοῦ Ἅβραμ, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποιμένων τῶν κτηνῶν τοῦ Λώτ· οἱ δὲ Χαναναῖοι καὶ οἱ Φερεζαῖοι τότε κατῴκουν τὴν γῆν.
And there was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle, and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle, and the Canaanites and the Perizzites then inhabited the land.
8
וַיֹּאמֶר אַבְרָם אֶל־לוֹט אַל־נָא תְהִי מְרִיבָה בֵּינִי וּבֵינֶיךָ וּבֵין רֹעַי וּבֵין רֹעֶיךָ כִּי־אֲנָשִׁים אַחִים אֲנָחְנוּ
And Abram said unto Lot: 'Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we are brethren.
Εἶπε δὲ Ἅβραμ τῷ Λὼτ, μὴ ἔστω μάχη ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποιμένων μου καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποιμένων σοῦ, ὅτι ἄνθρωποι ἀδελφοὶ ἐσμὲν ἡμεῖς.
And Abram said to Lot, Let there not be a strife between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen, for we are brethren.
9
הֲלֹא כָל־הָאָרֶץ לְפָנֶיךָ הִפָּרֶד נָא מֵעָלָי אִם־הַשְּׂמֹאל וְאֵימִנָה וְאִם־הַיָּמִין וְאַשְׂמְאִילָה
Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me; if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou take the right hand, then I will go to the left.'
Οὐκ ἰδοὺ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ ἐναντίον σου ἐστί; διαχωρίσθητι ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ· εἰ σὺ εἰς ἀριστερὰ, ἐγὼ εἰς δεξιά· εἰ δὲ σὺ εἰς δεξιὰ, ἐγὼ εἰς ἀριστερά.
Lo! is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself from me; if thou [goest] to the left, I will go to the right, and if thou goest to the right, I will go to the left.
10
וַיִּשָּׂא־לוֹט אֶת־עֵינָיו וַיַּרְא אֶת־כָּל־כִּכַּר הַיַּרְדֵּן כִּי כֻלָּהּ מַשְׁקֶה לִפְנֵי שַׁחֵת יְהוָה אֶת־סְדֹם וְאֶת־עֲמֹרָה כְּגַן־יְהוָה כְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם בֹּאֲכָה צֹעַר
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before HaShem destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of HaShem, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar.
Καὶ ἐπάρας Λὼτ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, ἐπεῖδε πᾶσαν τὴν περίχωρον τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, ὅτι πᾶσα ἦν ποτιζομένη, πρὸ τοῦ καταστρέψαι τὸν Θεὸν Σόδομα καὶ Γόμοῤῥα, ὡς ὁ παράδεισος τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ὡς ἡ γῆ Αἰγύπτου, ἕως ἐλθεῖν εἰς Ζόγορα.
And Lot having lifted up his eyes, observed all the country round about Jordan, that it was all watered, before God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, as the garden of the Lord, and as the land of Egypt, until thou come to Zoar.
11
וַיִּבְחַר־לוֹ לוֹט אֵת כָּל־כִּכַּר הַיַּרְדֵּן וַיִּסַּע לוֹט מִקֶּדֶם וַיִּפָּרְדוּ אִישׁ מֵעַל אָחִיו
So Lot chose him all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot journeyed east; and they separated themselves the one from the other.
Καὶ ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ Λὼτ πᾶσαν τὴν περίχωρον τοῦ Ἰορδάνου· καὶ ἀπῇρε Λὼτ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν· καὶ διεχωρίσθησαν ἕκαστος ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ.
And Lot chose for himself all the country round Jordan, and Lot went from the east, and they were separated each from his brother. And Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan.
12
אַבְרָם יָשַׁב בְּאֶרֶץ־כְּנָעַן וְלוֹט יָשַׁב בְּעָרֵי הַכִּכָּר וַיֶּאֱהַל עַד־סְדֹם
Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the Plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
Ἅβραμ δὲ κατῴκησεν ἐν γῇ Χαναάν· Λὼτ δὲ κατῴκησεν ἐν πόλει τῶν περιχώρων, καὶ ἐσκήνωσεν ἐν Σοδόμοις.
And Lot dwelt in a city of the neighboring people, and pitched his tent in Sodom.
13
וְאַנְשֵׁי סְדֹם רָעִים וְחַטָּאִים לַיהוָה מְאֹד
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against HaShem exceedingly.
Οἱ δὲ ἄνθρωποι οἱ ἐν Σοδόμοις πονηροὶ καὶ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ σφόδρα.
But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God.
14
ו͏ַיהוָה אָמַר אֶל־אַבְרָם אַחֲרֵי הִפָּרֶד־לוֹט מ͏ֵעִמּוֹ שָׂא נָא עֵינֶיךָ וּרְאֵה מִן־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר־אַתָּה שָׁם צָפֹנָה וָנֶגְבָּה וָקֵדְמָה וָיָמָּה
And HaShem said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him: 'Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward;
Ὁ δὲ Θεὸς εἶπε τῷ Ἅβραμ μετὰ τὸ διαχωρισθῆναι τὸν Λὼτ ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ, ἀνάβλεψον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, καὶ ἴδε ἀπὸ τοῦ τόπου οὗ νῦν σὺ εἶ πρὸς βοῤῥὰν καὶ λίβα καὶ ἀνατολὰς καὶ θάλασσαν·
And God said to Abram after Lot was separated from him, Look up with thine eyes, and behold from the place where thou now art northward and southward, and eastward and seaward;
15
כִּי אֶת־כָּל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר־אַתָּה רֹאֶה לְךָ אֶתְּנֶנָּה וּלְזַרְעֲךָ עַד־עוֹלָם
for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
ὅτι πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, ἣν σὺ ὁρᾷς, σοὶ δώσω αὐτὴν καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου ἕως αἰῶνος.
for all the land which thou seest, I will give it to thee and to thy seed forever.
16
וְשַׂמְתִּי אֶת־זַרְעֲךָ כַּעֲפַר הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר אִם־יוּכַל אִישׁ לִמְנוֹת אֶת־עֲפַר הָאָרֶץ גַּם־זַרְעֲךָ יִמָּנֶה
And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth; so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
Καὶ ποιήσω τὸ σπέρμα σου, ὡς τὴν ἄμμον τῆς γῆς· εἰ δύναταί τις ἐξαριθμῆσαι τὴν ἄμμον τῆς γῆς, καὶ τὸ σπέρμα σου ἐξαριθμηθήσεται.
And I will make thy seed like the dust of the earth; if anyone is able to number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed be numbered.
17
קוּם הִתְהַלֵּךְ בָּאָרֶץ לְאָרְכָּהּ וּלְרָחְבָּהּ כִּי לְךָ אֶתְּנֶנָּה
Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it.'
Ἀναστὰς διόδευσον τὴν γῆν εἴς τε τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς καὶ εἰς τὸ πλάτος· ὅτι σοι δώσω αὐτὴν καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
Arise and traverse the land, both in the length of it and in the breadth; for to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever.
18
וַיֶּאֱהַל אַבְרָם וַיָּבֹא וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּאֵלֹנֵי מַמְרֵא אֲשֶׁר בְּחֶבְרוֹן וַיִּבֶן־שָׁם מִזְבֵּחַ ל͏ַיהוָה
And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the terebinths of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built there an altar unto HaShem.
Καὶ ἀποσκηνώσας Ἅβραμ, ἐλθὼν κατῴκησε παρὰ τὴν δρῦν τὴν Μαμβρῆ, ἣ ἦν ἐν Χεβρὼμ, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ Κυρίῳ.
And Abram having removed his tent, came and dwelt by the oak of Mamre, which was in Hebron, and he there built an altar to the Lord.
