The land was not able to support them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to remain together.

There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time.

Isn't the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left."

Hiche phatlai chu Pakaiyin Sodom le Gomorrah asuhmang masang ana hi.

Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, like the garden of God, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)

11 Hijeh chun Lot in jong Jordan vadung phaicham pumpi chu akilhen in, hiti chun Lot chu niso lam jonin akitol tai; hitobang hin amani aki inkhen lhontan ahi.

So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated from each other.

And God said to Abram after Lot had departed from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,

for all the land which you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.

16 Keiman na son na chilhahte chu leiset'a leivui jat ka phahsah ding, leiset leivui jat sim jou lou banga nang son le chilhahte jong simjou lou ahi bouve.

I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring also could be counted.

17 Hijeh chun kipatdoh in lang agamsung hi adung avai asuh atung in ga kholtoh in, Ajeh chu ken nangma kapeh ding ahi.”

Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."
