2. Now Abram was extremely rich in livestock and in silver and in gold.
3. And he journeyed on from the South [country of Judah, the Negeb] as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
4. Where he had built an altar at first; and there Abram called on the name of the Lord. [Gal. 3:6-9.]
5. But Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
6. Now the land was not able to nourish and support them so they could dwell together, for their possessions were too great for them to live together.
