Genesis 13:11

Genesis 13:11

Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

a. NLT: Lot chose for himself the whole Jordan Valley to the east of them. He went there with his flocks and servants and parted company with his uncle Abram.

b. NIV: So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company:

c. YLT: and Lot chooseth for himself the whole circuit of the Jordan; and Lot journeyeth from the east, and they are parted -- a man from his companion;

d. Amplified Bible: Then Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley and [he] traveled east. So they separated.

e. Septuagint: And Lot chose for himself all the country round Jordan, and Lot went from the east, and they were separated each from his brother. And Abram dwelt in the land of Chanaan.

f. Stone Edition Torah/Writtings/Prophets: So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan, and Lot hourneyed from the east; thus they parted, one from his brother.
