فَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ لِلُوطٍ: «لاَ تَكُنْ مُخَاصَمَةٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَبَيْنَ رُعَاتِي وَرُعَاتِكَ، لأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَخَوَانِ.

To put an end to the strife between their herdsmen, Abram proposed to Lot that they should separate, as strife was unseemly between אחים אנשׁים, men who stood in the relation of brethren, and left him to choose his ground. "If thou to the left, I will turn to the right; and if thou to the right, I will turn to the left." Although Abram was the older, and the leader of the company, he was magnanimous enough to leave the choice to his nephew, who was the younger, in the confident assurance that the Lord would so direct the decision, that His promise would be fulfilled.

The unhappy occasion of their strife (Gen 13:5, Gen 13:6). 2. The parties concerned in the strife, with the aggravation of it (Gen 13:7). III. The making up of the quarrel, by the prudence of Abram (Gen 13:8, Gen 13:9). IV. Lot's departure from Abram to the plain of Sodom (Gen 13:10-13). V.

Abram’s generosity was an act of faith; he knew that even if he gave the whole land away, God would still give it to him and his descendants. Abram did not have to cling to things, whereas Lot’s choices were self-seeking. 13:8 Abram was concerned that there be no conflict (Hebrew meribah) between them, as they were close relatives (literally brothers). Moses later reproved Israel over the incident in the wilderness at Meribah (Exod 17:1-7; Num 20:1-13) and instructed them on exercising faith in such situations. Meribah thereafter became a watchword for testing and striving with the Lord in unbelief (see Ps 95).

وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي ظَهَرَ لَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَتَخَاصَمُونَ، فَسَاقَهُمْ إِلَى السَّلاَمَةِ قَائِلاً: أَيُّهَا الرِّجَالُ، أَنْتُمْ إِخْوَةٌ. لِمَاذَا تَظْلِمُونَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا؟
هُوَذَا مَا أَحْسَنَ وَمَا أَجْمَلَ أَنْ يَسْكُنَ الإِخْوَةُ مَعًا!
اَلْجَوَابُ اللَّيِّنُ يَصْرِفُ الْغَضَبَ، وَالْكَلاَمُ الْمُوجعُ يُهَيِّجُ السَّخَطَ.
مَجْدُ الرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَبْتَعِدَ عَنِ الْخِصَامِ، وَكُلُّ أَحْمَقَ يُنَازِعُ.
وَادِّينَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا بِالْمَحَبَّةِ الأَخَوِيَّةِ، مُقَدِّمِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا فِي الْكَرَامَةِ.
Pوَفِي التَّقْوَى مَوَدَّةً أَخَوِيَّةً، وَفِي الْمَوَدَّةِ الأَخَوِيَّةِ مَحَبَّةً. P
وَلكِنْ قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، لِتَكُنْ مَحَبَّتُكُمْ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ شَدِيدَةً، لأَنَّ الْمَحَبَّةَ تَسْتُرُ كَثْرَةً مِنَ الْخَطَايَا.
ثُمَّ صَرَفَ إِخْوَتَهُ فَانْطَلَقُوا، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لاَ تَتَغَاضَبُوا فِي الطَّرِيقِ».
وَالنِّهَايَةُ، كُونُوا جَمِيعًا مُتَّحِدِي الرَّأْيِ بِحِسٍّ وَاحِدٍ، ذَوِي مَحَبَّةٍ أَخَوِيَّةٍ، مُشْفِقِينَ، لُطَفَاءَ،
طَهِّرُوا نُفُوسَكُمْ فِي طَاعَةِ الْحَقِّ بِالرُّوحِ لِلْمَحَبَّةِ الأَخَوِيَّةِ الْعَدِيمَةِ الرِّيَاءِ، فَأَحِبُّوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا مِنْ قَلْبٍ طَاهِرٍ بِشِدَّةٍ.
