The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Tanach: Genesis 13: 5 And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
Genesis 13: 6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together; for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
Genesis 13: 7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.
Genesis 13: 8 And Abram said unto Lot: 'Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we are brethren.
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 take the right hand, then I will go to the left.'
Genesis 13: 10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar.
Genesis 13: 11 So Lot chose him all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot journeyed east; and they separated themselves the one from the other.
Genesis 13: 12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the Plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
Genesis 13: 13 Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against the LORD exceedingly.
