Abraham and Lot's conflict (Hebrew: מריבת רועי אברהם ורועי לוט, Merivat Roey Avraham Ve'Roey Lot) is an incident recorded in the Book of Genesis, in the weekly Torah portion, Lech-Lecha, which recounts the separation of Abraham and Lot, as a result of a dispute among their shepherds. The dispute ends in a peaceful way, in which Abraham concedes a part of the Promised Land, which belongs to him, in order to resolve the conflict peacefully.
