[The Pentateuch]

Lot also which went with him had sheep / cattle and tents: so that the land was not able to receive / them that they might dwell together / for the substance of their riches was so great / that they could not dwell together▪ And there fell a strife between the herdmen of Abrams cattle / and the herdmen of Lots cattle. Moreover the Canaanites and the Pherysites dwelled at that time in the land.

Lot also which went wyth hym had shepe / catell and tentes: so that the londe was not abill to receaue / them that they myght dwell to gether / for the substance of their riches was so greate / that they coude not dwell together▪ 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.

Than said Abram unto Lot: let there be no strife I pray the between thee and me and between my herdmen and thine / for we be brethren. Is not all the hole land before thee? Depart I pray the fro me. If thou wilt take the left hand / I will take the right: Or if thou take the right hand I will take the left. And Lot lift up his eyes and beheld all the country about Jordan / which was a plenteous country of water every where / before the LORD destroyed Sodoma and Gomorra. ⟨image 25⟩Even as the garden of the LORD / & as the land of Egypt till thou come to Zoar.

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. 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. ⟨image 25⟩
