Genesis 13:1 - 12

Abram after leaving Egypt was very rich in cattle, gold and silver. Lot, the nephew of Abram was also blessed with flocks and herds and they both dwelt together. When there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle, they separated peacefully. Lot seeing that the Jordan valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the Lord, chose to settle among the cities of the valley and pitched his tent in Sodom, while Abram dwelt in Canaan.

Genesis 21:33 – 22:12

After Abraham had made a covenant with God in Beer-Sheeba as EL-OLAM (Lord, the Everlasting God), God decided to test him. He knew that the most precious thing Abraham cherished in his life was Isaac and wanted him to prove, that even if Isaac was taken away, Abraham would still carry on his everlasting relationship with God.
