Abraham returned to Canaan and decided to live in Bethel, where he had previously built an altar to the Lord. Abraham and Lot were grazing their sheep together, and both had become extremely wealthy. Their herdsmen quarrelled over grazing rights, so the two men agreed to separate. Lot chose to live near Sodom, though the people in that area were exceedingly wicked.
After the departure of Lot, the Lord again assured Abraham that he would give him the land as far as the eye could see and predicted his descendants would be as numerous as the sand. Abraham built another altar to the Lord at Hebron.
