Genesis 13:14 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Genesis 13:14

12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot ^adwelt in the cities of the plain and ^bpitched his tent even as far as Sodom.

13 But the men of Sodom ^awere exceedingly wicked and ^bsinful against the Lord.

14 And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot ^ahad separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—^bnorthward, southward, eastward, and westward;

15 for all the land which you see ^aI give to you and ^byour descendants forever.

16 And ^aI will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered.

Genesis 13:14-15

Lift up now thine eyes . . . all the land which thou seest—So extensive a survey of the country, in all directions, can be obtained from no other point in the neighborhood; and those plains and hills, then lying desolate before the eyes of the solitary patriarch, were to be peopled with a mighty nation "like the dust of the earth in number," as they were in Solomon's time (I Kings 4:20).
