## Genesis 13:12 in Context (Verses 9–15 KJV)
 
 [9 ](/kjv/genesis/13/9) *Is* not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if *thou wilt take* the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if *thou depart* to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/genesis/13/10) And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it *was* well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, *even* as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/genesis/13/11) Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/genesis/13/12) Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched *his* tent toward Sodom.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/genesis/13/13) But the men of Sodom *were* wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/genesis/13/14) ¶ 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:
 
 [15 ](/kjv/genesis/13/15) For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
 
[Genesis 12](/kjv/genesis/12) [Genesis 14](/kjv/genesis/14)
