CONTENTS
The history of the Patriarch Abram, is continued through the whole of this Chapter. He is still in his pilgrimage state, wandering and removing under the guidance of Heaven, from one place to another. His wealth is here particularly noticed; as also his remarkable piety. But troubles beset him. A strife between his servants and the servants of his kinsman Lot, soon causeth them to separate from each other. Lot removes eastward towards the fruitful plains of Sodom, and Abram remains still in Canaan.
Genesis 13:1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
It will be profitable to remark in this place (considering it spiritually) how the Lord, in the several ages of the church, hath led his people down into Egypt, and brought them up again. Genesis 46:34; Hosea 11:1; Matthew 2:15; Revelation 11:3
