Abram and his nephew Lot had lots and lots of sheep and cows. So many that there wasn't enough grass for all of them!
Their helpers started arguing. Abram said, “Let's not fight. You choose where you want to live first.”
Lot picked the green, grassy valley. Abram took what was left. And God told Abram, “Look all around. I will give this land to your family.”
