1575. Verse 8 And Abram said to Lot, Let there not be strife, now, between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are men who are brothers.

'Abram said to Lot' means that the internal man so addressed the external. 'Let there not be strife, now, between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen' means that there ought to be no disagreement between the two 'For we are men who are brothers' means that they were in themselves united.
