Exegesis

The opening vayivchar {וַיִּבְחַר | way-yiv-ḥar} ‘and he chose’ combines with the beneficiary lo {ל֣וֹ | lô} ‘for himself,’ emphasizing Lot’s agency. The subject Lot follows the verb in typical Hebrew verb–subject order.

In contextGenesis 13:11

So Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan, and Lot journeyed eastward. Thus they separated , each man from his brother.
