Kedumah 10 (1597) 146

וַיִּרְאוּ אֹתָהּ שָׂרֵי פַרְעֹה, וַיְהַלְלוּ אֹתָהּ אֶל-פַּרְעֹה; וַתֻּקַּח הָאִשָּׁה, בֵּית פַּרְעֹה. וּלְאַבְרָהָם הֵיטִיב, בַּעֲבוּרָהּ; וַיְהִי-לוֹ צֹאן-וּבָקָר, וַחֲמֹרִים, וַעֲבָדִים וּשְׁפָחֹת, וַאֲתֹנֹת וּגְמַלִּים. וַיְנַגַּע יְהוָה אֶת-פַּרְעֹה נְגָעִים גְּדֹלִים, וְאֶת-בֵּיתוֹ, עַל-דְּבַר שָׂרַה, אֵשֶׁת אַבְרָהָם. וַיִּקְרָא פַרְעֹה, לְאַבְרָהָם, וַיֹּאמֶר, מַה-זֹּאת עָשִׂיתָ לִּי; לָמָּה לֹא-הִגַּדְתָּ לִּי, כִּי אִשְׁתְּךָ הִוא. לָמָה אָמַרְתָּ אֲחֹתִי הִוא, וָאֶקַּח אֹתָהּ לִי לְאִשָּׁה; וְעַתָּה, הִנֵּה אִשְׁתְּךָ קַח וָלֵךְ. וַיְצַו עָלָיו פַּרְעֹה, אֲנָשִׁים; וַיְשַׁלְּחוּ אֹתוֹ וְאֶת-אִשְׁתּוֹ, וְאֶת-כָּל-אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ

וַיַּעַל אַבְרָהָם מִמִּצְרַיִם הוּא וְאִשְׁתּוֹ וְכָל-אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ, וְלוֹט עִמּוֹ--הַנֶּגְבָּה. וְאַבְרָהָם, כָּבֵד מְאֹד, בַּמִּקְנֶה, בַּכֶּסֶף וּבַזָּהָב. וַיֵּלֶךְ, לְמַסָּעָיו, מִנֶּגֶב, וְעַד-בֵּית-אֵל--עַד-הַמָּקוֹם, אֲשֶׁר-הָיָה שָׁם אָהֳלֹה בַּתְּחִלָּה, בֵּין בֵּית-אֵל, וּבֵין הָעָי. אֶל-מְקוֹם, הַמִּזְבֵּחַ, אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה שָׁם, בָּרִאשֹׁנָה; וַיִּקְרָא שָׁם אַבְרָהָם, בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה. וְגַם-לְלוֹט--הַהֹלֵךְ, אֶת-אַבְרָהָם: הָיָה צֹאן-וּבָקָר, וְאֹהָלִים: וַיְהִי-רִיב, בֵּין רֹעֵי מִקְנֵה-אַבְרָהָם, וּבֵין, רֹעֵי מִקְנֵה-לוֹט; וְהַכְּנַעֲנִי, וְהַפְּרִזִּי, אָז, יֹשֵׁב בָּאָרֶץ. וַיֹּאמֶר אַבְרָהָם אֶל-לוֹט, אַל-נָא תְהִי מְרִיבָה בֵּינִי וּבֵינֶךָ, וּבֵין רֹעַי, וּבֵין רֹעֶיךָ: כִּי-אֲנָשִׁים אַחִים, אֲנָחְנוּ. הֲלֹא כָל-הָאָרֶץ לְפָנֶיךָ, הִפָּרֶד נָא מֵעָלָי: אִם-הַשְּׂמֹאל וְאֵימִנָה, וְאִם-הַיָּמִין וְאַשְׂמְאִילָה


When the officials of Pharaoh saw her, they lauded her for Pharaoh, and the woman was taken to Pharaoh's house. And he treated Abraham well for her sake, and he acquired sheep, cattle, donkeys, slaves and maidservants, female donkeys, and camels. But Hashem afflicted Pharaoh along with his household with severe plagues because of the matter of Sarah, the wife of Abraham. Pharaoh summoned Abraham and said, "What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she is your wife? Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I would take her as my wife? Now, here is your wife; take her and go!" So Pharaoh gave men orders concerning him, and they escorted him and his wife and all that was his.

So Abraham went up from Egypt, he with his wife and all that was his — and Lot with him — to the south. Now Abraham was very laden with livestock, silver, and gold. He proceeded on his journeys from the south to Beth-el to the place where his tent had been at first, between Beth-el and Ai; to the site of the altar which he had erected there at first; and there Abraham invoked Hashem by Name. Also Lot who went with Abraham had flocks, cattle, and tents. And there was quarreling between the herdsmen of Abraham's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock — and the Canaanite and the Perizzite were then dwelling in the land. So Abraham said to Lot - "Please let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are brothers. Is not all the land before you? Please separate from me - If you go left then I will go right, and if you go right then I will go left."
