ה) וְגַם לְלוֹט הַהֹלֵךְ אֶת אַבְרָם הָיָה צֹאן וּבָקָר וְאֹהָלִים:
ו) וְלֹא נָשָׂא אֹתָם הָאָרֶץ לָשֶׁבֶת יַחְדָּו כִּי הָיָה רְכוּשָׁם רָב וְלֹא יָכְלוּ לָשֶׁבֶת יַחְדָּו:
And also Lot, who went with Abram, had flocks and cattle and tents. And the land did not bear them to dwell together, for their possessions were many, and they could not dwell together. [Translation by Judaica Press]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. Why couldn't Lot and Abram dwell together? Is this a good reason?
2. Was Lot and Abram's wealth a good thing for them? What does this source indicate about how possessions can drive people apart?
