Genesis 13:12 Context
10And Lot lifted vp his eyes, and beheld all the plaine of Iordane, that it was well watered euery where before the Lord destroyed Sodome and Gomorah, euen as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou commest vnto Zoar. 11Then Lot chose him all the plaine of Iordane: and Lot iourneyed East; and they separated themselues the one from the other. 12Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plaine, and pitched his tent toward Sodome. 13But the men of Sodome were wicked, and sinners before the LORD exceedingly. 14¶ And the LORD said vnto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift vp now thine eyes, and looke from the place where thou art, Northward, and Southward, and Eastward, and Westward.
