About this work

Lot and Abraham possessed so much livestock that there was not enough land, and the shepherds of Lot and the shepherds of Abraham quarreled with each other. Abraham therefore proposed to Lot that they separate. In the center they bid each other farewell. Lot departs with his wife, daughters and possessions to the Jordan Valley.
