1 Ascendit ergo Abram de Aegypto, ipse et uxor eius, et omnia quae habebat, et Lot cum eo ad australem plagam.
Than Abram departed out of Egipte both he and his wyfe and all that he had and Lot wyth hym vnto the south.
2 Erat autem dives valde in possessione auri et argenti.

3 Reversusque est per iter, quo venerat, a meridie in Bethel usque ad locum ubi prius fixerat tabernaculum inter Bethel et Hai:
And he went on his iourney fro the south even vnto BETHEL ad vnto the place where his tente was at the fyrst tyme betwene BETHEL and Ay
4 in loco altaris quod fecerat prius, et invocavit ibi nomen Domini.

5 Sed et Lot qui erat cum Abram, fuerunt greges ovium, et armenta, et tabernacula.
Lot also which went wyth hym had shepe catell and tentes:
6 Nec poterat eos capere terra, ut habitarent simul: erat quippe substantia eorum multa, et nequibant habitare communiter.
so that the londe was not abill to receaue them that they myght dwell together for the substance of their riches was so greate that they coude not dwell together
7 Unde et facta est rixa inter pastores gregum Abram et Lot. Eo autem tempore Chananaeus et Pherezaeus habitabant in terra illa.
And there fell a stryfe betwene the herdmen of Abrams catell and the herdmen of Lots catell. Moreouer the Cananytes and the Pherysites dwelled at that tyme in the lande.
8 Dixit ergo Abram ad Lot: Ne quaeso sit iurgium inter me et te, et inter pastores meos, et pastores tuos: fratres enim sumus.
Than sayd Abram vnto Lot: let there be no stryfe I praye the betwene the and me and betwene my herdmen and thyne for we be brethren.
9 Ecce universa terra coram te est: recede a me, obsecro: si ad sinistram ieris, ego dexteram tenebo: si tu dexteram elegeris, ego ad sinistram pergam.
Ys not all the hole lande before the? Departe I praye the fro me. Yf thou wylt take the lefte hande I wyll take the right: Or yf thou take the right hande I wyll take the left.
10 Elevatis itaque Lot oculis, vidit omnem circa regionem Iordanis, quae universa irrigabatur antequam subverteret Dominus Sodomam et Gomorrham, sicut paradisus Domini, et sicut Aegyptus venientibus in Segor.
And Lot lyft vp hys eyes and beheld all the contre aboute Iordane which was a plenteous contre of water every where before the LORde destroyed Sodoma and Gomorra. Even as the garden of the LORde and as the lande of Egipte tyll thou come to Zoar.
11 Elegitque sibi Lot regionem circa Iordanem, et recessit ab Oriente: divisique sunt alterutrum a fratre suo.
Than Lot chose all the costes of Iordane ad toke hys iourney from the east. And so departed the one brother from the other.
12 Abram habitavit in terra Chanaan: Lot vero moratus est in oppidis, quae erant circa Iordanem, et habitavit in Sodomis.
Abram dwelled in the lande of Canaan. And lot in the cytes of the playne and tented tyll he came to Sodome.
13 Homines autem Sodomitae pessimi erant, et peccatores coram Domino nimis.
But the men of sodome were wyked and synned exceadyngly agenst the LORde.
14 Dixitque Dominus ad Abram, postquam divisus est ab eo Lot: Leva oculos tuos in directum, et vide a loco, in quo nunc es, ad aquilonem et meridiem, ad orientem et occidentem.
And the LORde sayed vnto Abram after that Lot was departed from hym: lyfte vp thyne eyes and loke from ye place where thou art northward southward eastward and westward
15 Omnem terram, quam conspicis, tibi dabo, et semini tuo usque in sempiternum.
for all the lande which thou seiste wyll I gyue vnto the and to thy seed for ever.
16 Faciamque semen tuum sicut pulverem terrae: si quis potest hominum numerare pulverem terrae, semen quoque tuum numerare poterit.
And I wyll make thy seed as the dust of the erth: so that yf a ma can nombre the dust of the erth than shall thy seed also be nombred.
17 Surge ergo, et perambula terram in longitudine, et in latitudine sua: quia tibi daturus sum eam.
Aryse and walke aboute in the lande in the length of it ad in the bredth for I wyll geue it vnto the.
18 Movens igitur tabernaculum suum Abram, venit et habitavit iuxta convallem Mambre, quae est in Hebron: aedificavitque ibi altare Domino.
Than Abra toke downe hys tente and went and dwelled in the okegrove of Mamre which is in Ebron and buylded there an altar to the LORde.
