Separate yourself now from me. If you go to the left, then I'll go to the right, but if you go to the right, then I'll go to the left." Lot looked up and saw the whole region of the Jordan.

After Lot had departed, the Lord said to Abram, "Look from the place where you stand to the north, south, east, and west.
