[169]
As soon as Abram was come back into Canaan, he parted the land between
him and Lot, upon account of the tumultuous behavior of their shepherds,
concerning the pastures wherein they should feed their flocks. However,
he gave Lot his option, or leave, to choose which lands he would take;
and he took himself what the other left, which were the lower grounds at
the foot of the mountains; and he himself dwelt in Hebron, which is a city
seven years more ancient than Tunis of Egypt. But Lot possessed the land
of the plain, and the river Jordan, not far from the city of Sodom, which
was then a fine city, but is now destroyed, by the will and wrath of God,
the cause of which I shall show in its proper place hereafter.
