Quarreling broke out between the herders of Abram’s livestock and the herders of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites were also living in the land at that time.
In context
5Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks, herds, and tents, 6and the land could not support them living together, for their possessions were so great that they could not stay together. 7Quarreling broke out between the herders of Abram’s livestock and the herders of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites were also living in the land at that time. 8So Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no quarreling between you and me, or between your herders and mine, for we are relatives. 9Is not the whole land before you? Let us separate. If you go to the left, I will go to the right; if you go to the right, I will go to the left.”
