1599 Geneva Bible
7 Also there was debate between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle, and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle, (and the [a]Canaanites and the Perizzites dwelleth at that time in the land.)
8 Then said Abram unto Lot, Let there be no [b]strife, I pray thee, between thee and me, neither between mine herdsmen and thine herdsmen: for we be brethren.
9 Is not the whole land before thee? depart I pray thee from me: if thou wilt [c]take the left hand, then I will go to the right: or if thou go to the right hand, then I will take the left.

7 And quarreling(A) arose between Abram’s herders and Lot’s. The Canaanites(B) and Perizzites(C) were also living in the land(D) at that time.
8 So Abram said to Lot,(E) “Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me,(F) or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives.(G) 9 Is not the whole land before you? Let’s part company. If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right; if you go to the right, I’ll go to the left.”(H)
