Abram and Lot for Kids: Bible Story & Printables

The story in a nutshell

Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold, and Lot had flocks, and herds, and tents, so the land was not able to bear them, and there was strife between their herdmen. Abram said, "Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren," and he let Lot choose first. Lot chose all the plain of Jordan and pitched his tent toward Sodom. Then the LORD told Abram to look northward, southward, eastward and westward: "For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever."
