Genesis 13:7
And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle
and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled
then in the land.
a. NLT: So disputes broke out
between the herdsmen of Abram and Lot. (At that time Canaanites and Perizzites
were also living in the land.)

between Abram’s herders and Lot’s. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also
living in the land at that time.
c. YLT: and there is a strife
between those feeding Abram's cattle and those feeding Lot's cattle; and the
Canaanite and the Perizzite are then dwelling in the land.
d. Amplified Bible: And there was
strife and quarreling between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle
and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle. Now the Canaanite and the Perizzite were
living in the land at that same time [making grazing of the livestock
difficult].
e. Septuagint: And there was a
strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle, and the herdmen of Lot's cattle,
and the Chananites and the Pherezites then inhabited the land.
f. Stone Edition
Torah/Prophets/Writings: And there was quarreling between the herdsmen of
Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock—and the Canaanite and the
Perizzite were then dwelling in the land.
