11. Et elegit sibi Lot omnem planitiem Jarden, et profectus est Lot ad Oreientem, et separaverunt se alter ab altero.
12. Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
12. Abram habitavit in terra Chanaan, et Lot habitavit in urbibus planitiei, et tetendit tabernaculum Sedom usque.
13. But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the
13. Viri autem Sedom erant mali, et scelerati coram Jehova valde.
LORD exceedingly.
14. And the LORD 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:
14. Et Jehova dixit ad Abram, postquam separavit se Lot ab eo, Leva nunc oculos tuos, et vide a loco ubi es, ad Aquilonem, Meridiem, Orientem, et Occidentem.
15. For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
15. Quia omnem terram quam tu vides, tibi dabo et semini tuo usque in saeculum.
16. 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.
16. Et ponam semen tuum sicut pulverem terrae: quia si poterit quisquam numerare pulverem terrae, etiam semen tuum numerabit.
17. Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
17. Surge, ambula per terram in longitudinem ejus, et in latitudinem ejus: quia tibi dabo eam.
