Genesis 13:7
Compare all
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.  
9 aIs not the whole land before you? Please bseparate from me. cIf you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.”  
10 And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all athe plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the Lord bdestroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) clike the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go toward dZoar.

Genesis 13:7

And the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled in the land - This made the quarrel, Very dangerous; if Abram and Lot cannot agree to feed their flocks together, it is well if the common enemy do not come upon them and plunder them both. Very scandalous: No doubt the eyes of all the neighbours were upon them, because of the singularity of their religion, and the extraordinary sanctity they professed; and notice would soon be taken of this quarrel, and improvement made of it to their reproach by the Canaanites and Perizzites.
