Gen 13:8–17

13:8–17 Lot and Abraham are compared and contrasted: both looked around (vv. 10, 14), were offered land (vv. 9, 15–17), and traveled to their allotted portion (vv. 11–12, 18). But Lot, who chose by sight, will escape twice by the skin of his teeth (14:12, 16; 19:1–29), while by faith Abraham will be enriched forever.
