Genesis 13:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 So that the land could not [a]bear them, that they might dwell together: for their (A)substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
7 Also there was debate between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle, and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle, (and the [b]Canaanites and the Perizzites dwelleth at that time in the land.)
8 Then said Abram unto Lot, Let there be no [c]strife, I pray thee, between thee and me, neither between mine herdsmen and thine herdsmen: for we be brethren.
