Notes on this text (1)

1 SUBIÓ, pues, 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 Bethel, hasta el lugar donde había estado antes su tienda entre Bethel y Hai; 4 Al lugar del altar que había hecho allí antes: é invocó allí Abram el nombre de Jehová. 5 Y asimismo Lot, que andaba con Abram, tenía ovejas, y vacas, y tiendas. 6 Y la tierra no podía darles para que habitasen juntos: porque su hacienda era mucha, y no podían morar en un mismo lugar. 7 Y hubo contienda entre los pastores del ganado de Abram y los pastores del ganado de Lot: y el Cananeo y el Pherezeo habitaban entonces en la tierra. 8 Entonces Abram dijo á 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 [fueres] á la mano izquierda, yo iré á la derecha: y si tú á la derecha, yo iré á la izquierda. 10 Y alzó Lot sus ojos, y vió toda la llanura del Jordán, que toda ella era de riego, antes que destruyese Jehová á Sodoma y á Gomorra, como el huerto de Jehová, como la tierra de Egipto entrando en Zoar. 11 Entonces Lot escogió para sí toda la llanura del Jordán: y partióse Lot de Oriente, y apartáronse el uno del otro. 12 Abram asentó en la tierra de Canaán, y Lot asentó en las ciudades de la llanura, y fué poniendo sus tiendas hasta Sodoma. 13 Mas los hombres de Sodoma eran malos y pecadores para con Jehová en gran manera. 14 Y Jehová dijo á Abram, después que Lot se apartó de él: Alza ahora tus ojos, y mira desde el lugar donde estás hacia el Aquilón, y al Mediodía, y al Oriente y al Occidente; 15 Porque toda la tierra que ves, la daré á ti y á tu simiente para siempre. 16 Y haré 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 á lo largo de ella y á su ancho; porque á ti la tengo de dar. 18 Abram, pues, removiendo su tienda, vino y moró en el alcornocal de Mamre, que es en Hebrón, y edificó allí altar á Jehová.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 13:14–16 Clement of Rome, First Epistle to the Corinthians (Chapters VII–XIII)

    And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, [so that] if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered." And again [the Scripture] saith, "God brought forth Abram, and spake unto him, Look up now to heaven, and count the stars if thou be able to number them; …

  2. Quotes verse 13:17 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book V, Chapters XXVII–XXVIII)

    For all the earth which thou seest, I will give to thee and to thy seed, even for ever." And again He says, "Arise, and go through the length and breadth of the land, since I will give it unto thee;" and [yet] he did not receive an inheritance in it, not even a footstep, but was always a stranger …

  3. Quotes verse 13:14–17 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XVI, Chapters 16–21)

    Arise, and walk through the land, in the length of it, and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it." It does not clearly appear whether in this promise that also is contained by which he is made the father of all nations.

  4. Quotes verse 13:2 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LII)

    Read the Scriptures, and thou shall find Abraham to have been a rich man. In order that thou mayest know, that not riches are blamed; Abraham had much gold, silver, cattle, household, was a rich man, and unto his bosom Lazarus, a poor man, was borne up.

  5. Quotes verse 13:2 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LXXXVI)

    It is certain that the poor man was carried into the bosom of Abraham: of Abraham himself Scripture saith that he had here very much gold and silver, and was rich on the earth. If every one that is rich is hurried away to be tormented, how could Abraham have gone before that poor man, so as to be ready …
