📚 Historical Context
In Genesis 13, Abraham and his nephew Lot had to separate because their flocks and herds were too large for the land to support them both, leading to conflicts between their herdsmen. After Lot chose the fertile plain of the Jordan, God appeared to Abraham and promised him all the land he could see as an eternal inheritance for him and his descendants. This promise was part of God's covenant with Abraham, establishing the foundation for the nation of Israel.
