How preachers through history handled this text
8 public-domain excerpts on Genesis 13, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Those are best prepared for the visits of Divine grace, whose spirits are calm, and not ruffled with passion. God will abundantly make up in spiritual peace, what we lose for preserving neighbourly peace. When our relations are separated from us, yet God is not. Observe also the promises with which God now comforted and enriched Abram. Of two things he assures him; a good land, and a numerous issue to enjoy it. The prospects seen by faith are more rich and beautiful than those we see around us. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Genesis 13:14–35 (Public Domain)
