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

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 13:8-11

Where Lookest Thou Genesis 13:8-11 ; Genesis 18:20-22 ; Genesis 19:25-28 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Our Scripture today presents four looks toward Sodom. 1. There was the look of Lot, or the look of worldly advantage. 2. There was the look of the Lord, or the look of coming judgment. 3. There was the look of Lot's wife, or the look of folly and of pride. 4. There was the look of Abraham, or the look of compassionate submission. Let us examine these four looks, one at a time. 1. The look of Lot.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 13:8-9

‘And Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife, I beg you, between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen. For we are close relatives. Is not the whole land in front of you? Separate yourself, I pray, from me. If you will take the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you take the right hand then I will go to the left”.’ The greatness of Abram is brought out in these words. As senior, and almost certainly leader of the largest sub-tribe, he could have claimed precedence.... 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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 13:9

Is not the whole land before thee? i.e. open to thy view, and free to choose which part thou pleasest, as thou canst agree with the owners: I give thee full power to choose before me. See a like phrase, Genesis 20:15; Genesis 34:10,Genesis 34:21; Genesis 47:6. Thou wilt take: this and the following supplement are easily gathered both from the words of this and Genesis 13:11, and from the nature of the thing. And the Hebrew language being a concise or short language, such supplements are... 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

DISCOURSE: 21SEPARATION OF ABRAM AND LOTGenesis 13:8-11. And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every... 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
