Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 13:1-14

Abram and Lot Genesis 13:1-14 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Let us bring before you the "as" and "so" of the Lord's Return. The days of Lot are likened unto the days of the Coming of the Son of Man. Our Lord did not hesitate to reach back into the historical, distant past, and then look forward to the prophetical, distant future, and say, "as" and "so." He knew the details of the days of Lot, for He was there. He knew the details of the day of His Coming, for He lives in one eternal "now," and He is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 13:5-6

‘And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents. And the land was not able to bear them that they might dwell together, for their substance was so great that they could not dwell together.’ The riches gathered in Egypt have altered the situation. There is no longer room for both sub-tribes to stay together. This begins to cause friction between the two sub-tribes. The land is just not sufficient. They must seek wider pastures. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 13:1-18

Genesis 13. The Separation of Abraham and Lot.— In the main from J, as is shown by the frequent mention of Yahweh, the reference to the garden of Yahweh, the preparation for the story of Sodom’ s overthrow in the mention of its exceeding sinfulness, and the phraseology. But Genesis 13:11 b – Genesis 13:12 a (“ and they . . . the Plain” ) belongs to P, which characteristically avoids all explanation of the separation as due to strife; it was occasioned rather by their abounding wealth.... read more

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 13:5. Tents] Including their occupants, as wives, children, and domestics. Thus we have in 1 Chronicles 4:41 : “Smote their tents, i.e. those who occupied them.”—Genesis 13:6. And the land was not able to bear them] The LXX. has, did not contain them to dwell together. Their flocks and herds had grown too numerous to find pasture there. An inability, moreover, of a moral kind may be implied.—Genesis 13:7. The Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land] The... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 13:1-18

Thirteenth chapter of the book of Genesis. In chapter twelve, we find that Abraham had gone down into Egypt because of the famine. And there as the result of a lack of faith and trust in God to take care of him, he had Sarai pass herself off as his sister. But God brought a plague upon the Egyptians because the Pharaoh had more or less taken her into his harem and he rebuked Abraham for the deception and ordered his men to allow Abraham to travel freely. And so now Abraham is returning from... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 13:1-18

Genesis 13:2. Very rich. Here is another proof of God’s fidelity in fulfilling his promises to Abraham. This has often been the lot of faithful men. Genesis 13:9. Separate thyself. Generous actions excite generous sentiments. “Aristippus being angry with Æshines sent for him, and said, You are aware that I, as the elder, might exercise a compulsive power. True, replied Æshines, I am indeed the cause of the quarrel, and you are the author of friendship.” Genesis 13:10. The garden of... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 13:6

Gen 13:6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together. Ver. 6. And the land was not able to bear them. ] This was sour sauce to their sweet meat, lest they should surfeit of their abundance. All earthly comforts are dissweetened with crosses, and there are thorns in all the world’s roses. It is seldom seen that God allows any, though never so dear to himself, a perfect contentment. Something they... read more
