The Biblical Illustrator - Genesis 13:9

Genesis 13:9Is not the whole land before thee?--The goodly land in prospectIn many respects the earthly Canaan was typical of the heavenly. The heavenly Canaan is--I.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 13:8

Gen 13:8 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. Ver. 8. And Abram said to Lot. ] Speech endeth anger, silence nourisheth it. Much malice and grudge would be avoided, and the very poison of it drawn out, did we but give it a vent at first, by reasoning with the party that wronged us, and expostulating the injury, which most times is but a mere mistake. Now many, on the contrary, harbour... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 13:9

Genesis 13:9 [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. Ver. 9. Is not the whole land before thee? ] Abram chooseth rather to take wrong, than to strive for his right, which he here parts with for peace’s sake. They that do otherwise, though they think they do bravely, and get the better of their adversary, yet (if St Paul may... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 13:5-13

SEPARATION OF ABRAM AND LOT, 5-13. The time has come to separate Abram and his household more fully from kindred and connexions which he cannot “command.” Genesis 18:19. His father’s house in far-off Chaldea was tainted with idolatry, and he was to be removed from its power, and so Jehovah ordered him thence. But the love of kindred is strong, and Terah, his father, accompanied him as far as Haran. There he dwelt and died, and Abram resumed his journey westward. Lot, his brother’s son, still... read more
