Abram and his nephew Lot both had a lot of animals to feed. When their servants began arguing about who should get the best land Abram stepped in and gave Lot his choice of the land. Abram took what was left.
8 Then Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, for we are kinsmen.9 Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right, or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left.”
