אברם ישב בארץ כנען ולוט ישב בערי הככר ויאהל עד סדם׃
Gen 13:12 [Samaritan]
אברם ישב בארץ כנען ולוט ישב בערי הככר ויאהל עד סדם׃
Gen 13:12 [Masoretic]
אַבְרָם יָשַׁב בְּאֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָעַן וְלֹוט יָשַׁב בְּעָרֵי הַכִּכָּר וַיֶּאֱהַל עַד־סְדֹֽם׃
Gen 13:12 [Targum Onkelos]
אַבְרָם יְתֵיב בְּאַרְעָא דִכְנָעַן וְלוֹט יְתֵיב בְּקִרְוֵי מֵישְׁרָא וּפְרַס עַד סְדוֹם:
Gen 13:12 [Peshitta]
ܐܒܪܡ ܝܬܼܒ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܢܥܢ܂ ܘܠܘܛ ܝܬܼܒ ܒܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܟܟܪ܂ ܘܝܪܬ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܣܕܘܡ܂
* Instead of ויאהל the Syriac has ܘܝܪܬ (and inherited), with the change of ה into ח and of א into נ, which the Hebrew letters easily bear.
Gen 13:12 [Septuagint]
Αβραμ δὲ κατῴκησεν ἐν γῇ Χανααν Λωτ δὲ κατῴκησεν ἐν πόλει τῶν περιχώρων καὶ ἐσκήνωσεν ἐν Σοδομοις
