וישא לוט את עיניו וירא את כל ככר הירדן כי כלו משקה לפני שחת יהוה את סדם ואת עמרה כגן יהוה כארץ מצרים באכה צערה
Gen 13:10 [Masoretic Text]
וַיִּשָּׂא־לֹ֣וט אֶת־עֵינָ֗יו וַיַּרְא֙ אֶת־כָּל־כִּכַּ֣ר הַיַּרְדֵּ֔ן כִּ֥י כֻלָּ֖הּ מַשְׁקֶ֑ה לִפְנֵ֣י שַׁחֵ֣ת יְהוָ֗ה אֶת־סְדֹם֙ וְאֶת־עֲמֹרָ֔ה כְּגַן־יְהוָה֙ כְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם בֹּאֲכָ֖ה צֹֽעַר׃
And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of the Yarden, that it was well watered everywhere before YHWH destroyed Sedom and ʿAmora, like the garden of YHWH, like the land of Mitsrayim as you go toward Tsoʿar.
