1570. Verse 7 And there was strife between Abram's herdsmen and Lot's herdsmen. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were then dwelling in the land.

'There was strife between Abram's herdsmen and Lot's herdsmen' means that the internal man and the external did not agree, 'Abram's herdsmen' being used to mean celestial things, 'Lot's herdsmen' things of the senses. 'And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were then dwelling in the land' means evils and falsities in the external man.
