Genesis 13:4

Abraham
PrayerPraise and worship

2 And Abram had become extremely wealthy in livestock and silver and gold.

3 From the Negev he journeyed from place to place toward Bethel, until he came to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had formerly been pitched,

to the site where he had built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

5 Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.

6 But the land was unable to support both of them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to coexist.
