Genesis 13:7

---

← Genesis 13:6	Genesis 13:7 (KJV)	Genesis 13:8 →
And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.	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.	And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we [be] brethren.
