The Trauels of Lot.

LOt trauelled with Abraham from Vr in Chaldaea, to Haran in Mesopotamia, which is 336 miles, Gen. 12.

2 From Haran they trauelled to Sichem in the land of Canaan, being 400 miles.

3 From Sichem they trauelled through Morae, to the hil ly∣ing between Bethel and Hay, which is 24 miles.

4 From the hill between Bethel and Hay, they went into E∣gypt, which is 240 miles, Gen. 13.

5 From Egypt they went into the land of Canaan, to the hil lying between Bethel and Hay, where Abraham had dwelt before, which is 240 miles, Gen. 13.

6 From the hil between Bethel and Hay Lot separated him∣selfe from Abraham, and went to the towne of Sodom Eastward, which is 28 miles, Gen. 13.

7 In the town of Sodom Lot was taken prisoner, hee and all his houshold, and led away to the town of Dan, which is 32 miles Gen. 14.

8 And when Abraham had deliuered him out of the hands of his enemies, & pursued them, he returned with him from Dan to Hobam in Phoenicia, lying on the left side of Damascus, be∣ing 80 miles.

9 From Phoenicia Abraham came again with Lot to Sodom, which is 160 miles.

10 Lastly, when the Lord had determined to raine fire and brimstone on Sodom, Lot according to his commandement went thence to Zoar a little town neere adioyning, where being drunk with Wine hee committed incest with both his daughters; but after comming to the knowledge of his offence, he was so sore af∣flicted in his conscience, that with extreme grief he died. Luther saith that Abraham tooke him to Hebron with him to comfort him, and that there he died. Hebron is 36 miles from Sodom.

So all the trauels of the Patriarch Lot were 1652 miles.
