10Lot looked up and saw the whole region around the Jordan River as you come to Zoar.[] (Before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, it was well watered everywhere, like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt.) 11So Lot chose the region around the Jordan for himself. Lot headed out toward the east, and they separated from each other. 12Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived among the cities of the region around the Jordan and moved his tent close to Sodom.

13:10In the Hebrew text, the words as you come to Zoar are placed at the end of verse 10, but they must refer to the area of Sodom and Gomorrah, not to Egypt. See 14:8.
