Genesis 12:8

       8   And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.

Genesis 12:10-20

       10.   And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
      11   And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
      12   Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
      13   Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
      14.   And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
      15   The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
      16   And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
      17   And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
      18   And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
      19   Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
      20   And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.

Genesis 12:16

       16   And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.

Genesis 13:1-13

       1.   And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
      2   And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
      3   And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
      4   Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
      5.   And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
      6   And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
      7   And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
      8   And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
      9   Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
      10.   And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
      11   Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
      12   Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
      13   But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

Genesis 14:1-12

       1.   And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
      2   That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
      3   All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
      4   Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
      5   And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
      6   And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.
      7   And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar.
      8   And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
      9   With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.
      10   And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
      11   And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
      12   And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

Genesis 19:12-28

       12.   And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
      13   For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
      14   And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
      15.   And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
      16   And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
      17   And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
      18   And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
      19   Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
      20   Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
      21   And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
      22   Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
      23   The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
      24.   Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
      25   And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
      26.   But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
      27.   And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
      28   And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

Genesis 23:16

       16.   And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.

Matthew 6:33

       33   But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Luke 17:28-32

       28   Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
      29   But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
      30   Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
      31   In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
      32   Remember Lot's wife.

2 Peter 2:4-11

       4   For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
      5   And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
      6   And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
      7.   And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
      8   (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
      9   The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
      10.   But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
      11   Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
