2† And now I wish to read out of the Bible, over in the Book of Genesis, the 13th chapter of Genesis, and we wish to start with the 5th verse, to read. I just love to read the Word. Because, what I say could fail, that’s a man. But, if I just read this Word, what He says can’t fail.
So then I know there’ll be good come out of it, if no more than just reading the Word. The 5th verse, we begin, of the 13th chapter. And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

Perizzite dwelt… in the land. And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we are brethren.
Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: and if thou wilt take the left hand, then I’ll go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld… the plains of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest out of Zoar.

And Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the city of the plains, and pitched his tent towards Sodom. But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
And the LORD said unto Abraham, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou… northward,… southward,… eastward,… westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give thee, and to thy seed for ever. .
