Genesis 13:14

Compare all

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.

17 Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.”

18 ^aThen Abram moved his tent, and went and ^bdwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamre, ^cwhich are in Hebron, and built an ^daltar there to the Lord.

Genesis 13:14

The Lord said unto Abram - It is very likely that the angel of the covenant appeared to Abram in open day, when he could take a distinct view of the length and the breadth of this good land. The revelation made Genesis 15:5, was evidently made in the night; for then he was called to number the stars, which could not be seen but in the night season: here he is called on to number the dust of the earth, Genesis 13:16, which could not be seen but in the day-light.
