Abram settled in the land of Canaan, but Lot settled among the cities of the Jordan plain and pitched his tents next to Sodom.

So Abram moved his tents and went to live by the oaks of Mamre in Hebron, and he built an altar to the Lord there.

No one will live there again; no one will ever reside there again. No bedouin will camp there, no shepherds will rest their flocks there.
