Shelishi

  1. Lot separates from Avraham:
  • Lot likewise had with him a lot of cattle, and together with the cattle of Avraham, there was not enough grazing land available for both of them. This caused their shepherds to quarrel. Avraham pleaded with Lot that they should not quarrel and rather that Lot should travel in a separate direction.
  • Lot chose to travel towards the city of Sodom. The people of Sodom were very evil.
  • Hashem blesses Avraham with inheritance of Israel: After Lots departure, Hashem appeared to Avraham and reinsured him that his descendants will inherit all of the land of Canaan. Hashem instructed Avraham to walk the land, in both its length and width to see how much he will be given. Hashem promised Avraham that his descendants will be as many as the sand of the earth.
  • Avraham then settled in Elonei Mamrei, which is Chevron, and built an altar for Hashem.
