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

Genesis 13:10-12Lot chose him all the plain of JordanAbraham and LotThe lesson to be gained from the history of Abraham and Lot is obviously this: that nothing but a clear apprehension of things unseen, a simple trust in God’s promises, and the greatness of mind thence arising, can make us act above the world--indifferent, or almost so, to its comforts, enjoyments, and friendships; or, in other words, that its goods corrupt the common run of religious men who possess them.I. ABRAHAM AND LOT HAD... read more

Gen 13:10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it [was] well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, [even] as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. Ver. 10. And Lot lifted up his eyes. ] This was "the lust of the eye" St John speaketh of, 1Jn 2:16 as he afterwards fell into "the lust of the flesh," Gen 19:33 a his incestuous posterity into "the pride of life." We have heard of the pride of Moab,... read more

Gen 13:11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. Ver. 11. And they separated themselves the one from the other. ] But not very far asunder. And herein they became a symbol of friendship: for friends, as parallel lines, neither go far apart, nor yet interfere one with another. 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
