Genesis 13:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 13:6

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.

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.”
