Génesis 13

Lernen

   

1 Así subió Abram de Egipto hacia el mediodía, él y su mujer, con todo lo que tenía, y con él Lot.

2 Y Abram era riquísimo en ganado, en plata y oro.

3 Y volvió por sus jornadas de la parte del mediodía hacia Betel, hasta el lugar donde había estado antes su tienda entre Betel y Hai;

4 al lugar del altar que había hecho allí antes; e invocó allí Abram el nombre del SEÑOR.

5 Y asimismo Lot, que andaba con Abram, tenía ovejas, y vacas, y tiendas.

6 De tal manera que la tierra no los sufría para morar juntos; porque su hacienda era mucha, y no pudieron habitar juntos.

7 Y hubo contienda entre los pastores del ganado de Abram y los pastores del ganado de Lot; y el cananeo y el ferezeo habitaban entonces en la tierra.

8 Entonces Abram dijo a Lot: No haya ahora altercado entre mí y ti, entre mis pastores y los tuyos, porque somos hermanos.

9 ¿No está toda la tierra delante de ti? Yo te ruego que te apartes de mí. Si tú fueres a la mano izquierda, yo iré a la derecha; y si a la derecha, yo a la izquierda.

10 Y alzó Lot sus ojos, y vio toda la llanura del Jordán, que toda ella era de riego, antes que destruyese el SEÑOR a Sodoma, y a Gomorra, como un huerto del SEÑOR, como la tierra de Egipto entrando en Zoar.

11 Entonces Lot escogió para sí toda la llanura del Jordán; y se fue Lot al oriente, y se apartaron el uno del otro.

12 Abram se asentó en la tierra de Canaán, y Lot se asentó en las ciudades de la llanura, y puso sus tiendas hasta Sodoma.

13 Mas los hombres de Sodoma eran malos y pecadores para con el SEÑOR en gran manera.

14 Y el SEÑOR dijo a Abram, después que Lot se apartó de él: Alza ahora tus ojos, y mira desde el lugar donde tú estás hacia el aquilón, y al mediodía, y al oriente y al occidente;

15 porque toda la tierra que tú ves, la daré a ti y a tu simiente para siempre.

16 Y pondré tu simiente como el polvo de la tierra; que si alguno podrá contar el polvo de la tierra, también tu simiente será contada.

17 Levántate, ve por la tierra a lo largo de ella y a su ancho; porque a ti la tengo de dar.

18 Y asentó Abram su tienda, y vino, y moró en el alcornocal de Mamre, que es en Hebrón, y edificó allí altar al SEÑOR.

1562. Verse 5. And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flock and herd, and tents. “And Lot also, who went with Abram,” signifies the external man that was in the Lord; “had flock and herd, and tents,” signifies those things in which the external man abounds; “flock and herd” are the external man’s possessions; “tents” are his worship: these things were separating themselves from the internal man.

Genesis 13

Lernen

   

1 Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.

2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

3 He went on his journeys from the South even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

4 to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the name of Yahweh.

5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

6 The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together: for their substance was great, so that they could not live together.

7 There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time.

8 Abram said to Lot, "Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.

9 Isn't the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left."

10 Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.

11 So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves the one from the other.

12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

13 Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.

14 Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,

15 for all the land which you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever.

16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then your seed may also be numbered.

17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."

18 Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.
