Genesis 13:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 13:2

Abram Inherits Canaan

1 Then Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and ^aLot with him, ^bto the South.

2 ^aAbram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

3 And he went on his journey ^afrom the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

4 to the ^aplace of the altar which he had made there at first. And there Abram ^bcalled on the name of the Lord.

5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents.

6 Now ^athe land was not able to support them, that they might dwell together, for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together.

7 And there was ^astrife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. ^bThe Canaanites and the Perizzites then dwelt in the land.

8 So Abram said to Lot, ^a“Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren.
