The Parting Of Abram And Lot

7 And there fell a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle, and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. Moreover, the Canaanites and the Perizzites dwelled at that time in the land. 8 Then said Abram unto Lot, "Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between thee and me, and between my herdsmen and thine, for we be brethren. 9 Is not all the whole land before thee? Depart, I pray thee, from me. If thou wilt take the lefthand, I will take the right: or if thou take the righthand I will take the left."
