Genesis 13:12-18

New American Standard Bible

¹² Abram ^[a]settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot ^[b]settled in ^(A)the cities of the ^[c]vicinity of the Jordan, and moved his tents as far as Sodom. ¹³ Now ^(B)the men of Sodom were ^[d]exceedingly wicked ^(C)sinners against the Lord.

¹⁴ The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “^(D)Now raise your eyes and look from the place where you are, ^(E)northward and southward, and eastward and westward; ^15 (F)for all the land which you see ^(G)I will give to you and to your ^[e]descendants forever. ¹⁶ I will make your ^[f]descendants ^(H)as plentiful as the dust of the earth, so that if anyone can count the dust of the earth, then your ^[g]descendants could also be counted. ¹⁷ Arise, ^(I)walk about in the land through its length and width; for ^(J)I will give it to you.” ¹⁸ Then Abram moved his tent and came and lived by the ^[h](K)oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron; and there he built ^(L)an altar to the Lord.
