And there was discord between the herdsmen of Abram and the herdsmen of Lot.
This phrase highlights the growing tension between Abram and Lot's households due to their increasing wealth and livestock. The discord signifies the challenges of cohabitation when resources become limited. This situation foreshadows future separations and conflicts within families in the biblical narrative. The herdsmen's quarrel reflects the broader theme of human conflict over resources, a recurring issue throughout history. This discord also sets the stage for Abram's later demonstration of faith and generosity when he allows Lot to choose his land first, showcasing a model of conflict resolution.

At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were also living in the land.
The mention of the Canaanites and Perizzites provides historical and cultural context, indicating that Abram and Lot were not the only inhabitants of the land. The Canaanites were a significant group in the region, known for their advanced cities and culture, while the Perizzites were likely a smaller, rural group. Their presence underscores the challenges Abram and Lot faced in finding suitable land for their flocks amidst established populations. This detail also foreshadows the future interactions and conflicts between the descendants of Abram and the Canaanite peoples, as seen in later biblical narratives. The presence of these groups highlights the theme of God's promise to Abram regarding the land, which would eventually be fulfilled through his descendants.

Teaching Points
Conflict Resolution
The strife between Abram's and Lot's herdsmen highlights the importance of addressing conflicts directly and peacefully. Abram's later actions in offering Lot the choice of land demonstrate a godly approach to resolving disputes.

Stewardship of Resources
The conflict arose from limited resources, teaching us the importance of wise stewardship and the potential for conflict when resources are not managed well.

Living Among Others
The presence of the Canaanites and Perizzites reminds us that as believers, we often live among those who do not share our faith. Our actions and resolutions should reflect God's character to those around us.

Family Dynamics
The relationship between Abram and Lot shows the complexities of family dynamics, especially when resources and wealth are involved. Maintaining peace and unity within families is crucial.

Trust in God's Provision
Despite the strife, Abram trusted in God's promise and provision, choosing to let Lot take the first choice of land. This teaches us to rely on God's faithfulness rather than our own understanding.

What Does Genesis 13:7 Mean
And there was discord

• “There was strife” signals real tension, not a passing annoyance.

• Blessing had produced abundance (Genesis 13:2), yet unmanaged blessing can breed conflict (cf.Genesis 26:20;James 4:1).

• Scripture consistently warns that unchecked disputes fracture fellowship meant to glorify God (Proverbs 15:18;Romans 12:18).

between the herdsmen of Abram

• Abram’s servants managed vast flocks God had granted (Genesis 12:16; 24:35).

• Their quarrel reflects the leader’s responsibility: prosperity requires wise oversight (Proverbs 27:23–24).

• Abram’s later response of peacemaking (Genesis 13:8-9) models the heart of a faith-filled patriarch (Matthew 5:9).

and the herdsmen of Lot

• Lot, blessed by association with Abram (Genesis 13:5), now experiences the test wealth can bring (1 Timothy 6:9-10).

• The verse foreshadows Lot’s pattern of incremental compromise—first conflict, then a move toward Sodom (Genesis 13:12-13).

• Family ties alone cannot substitute for personal faith and discernment (Luke 17:32).

At that time

• The phrase anchors the incident within God’s unfolding promise; the land is not yet possessed, only promised (Genesis 12:7).

• God allows tension in the waiting period to refine character and clarify calling (Romans 5:3-4;James 1:2-4).

the Canaanites and the Perizzites were also living in the land

• Their presence underscores limited pasture and explains the immediate pressure on resources (Deuteronomy 7:1).

• It reminds readers that Abram and Lot are sojourners, dependent on God’s future fulfillment (Hebrews 11:9-10).

• The notation hints at a watching world; how believers handle conflict serves as testimony among unbelievers (1 Peter 2:12).

summary

Genesis 13:7 records a very human clash birthed by God-given prosperity, testing Abram’s and Lot’s hearts while pagans looked on. The strife urges faithful stewardship, peacemaking leadership, and patient trust in promises not yet fully seen, all while living before a watching world.

(7)The Perizzite.--We find mention in the Bible both of Perazites, translatedvillages,in1Samuel 6:18,Esther 9:19; and of Perizzites, who are sometimes opposed to the Canaanites, as here and inGenesis 34:30, and sometimes described as one of the tribes settled in Palestine (Exodus 3:8;Exodus 3:17;Joshua 17:15;Judges 3:5). They are not mentioned among the races descended from Canaan, and probably were the earlier inhabitants of the country, who, being a pastoral people, possessed of no towns, were not able to make head against the Hamite settlers, but maintained themselves in the open country. Perazite and Perizzite are probably the same word, and both signifylowlander,though finally they were driven to the mountains (Joshua 11:3). As the Canaanites devoted their main strength to a maritime life and trade, they would not attempt to extirpate these natives, but would be content with driving them into the interior. As thus some districts would be occupied by the dominant Canaanites, and others by these aborigines, two such large clans as those of Abram and Lot would find it difficult to discover unoccupied land enough to provide pasture for their cattle. The land must have been very thinly peopled for it to have been possible for them to do this, even when they had arranged to dwell apart. . . .Verse 7. -And there was a strife (originating doubtless in the scarcity of pasture, and having for its object the possession of the best wells and most fertile grounds)between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite - the lowlander (vide Genesis 9:22; 12:6) -and the Perizzite - the highlander, or dweller in the hills and woods of Palestine (Josephus, Bochart); in the open country and in villages, as opposed to the Canaanites, who occupied walled towns (Kalisch, Wordsworth; a tribe of wandering nomads (Murphy), the origin of whose name is lost in obscurity (Keil), who, though not mentioned inGenesis 10, are commonly introduced with the Canaanites (Genesis 15:20;Genesis 34:30;Exodus 3:8, 17), as dividing the land between them, and are probably to be regarded as the remnant of an early Shemite race displaced by the Hamite invaders of Palestine. Their introduction here is neither a sign of post-Mosaic authorship nor an interpolation, but an explanation of the difficulty of finding pasture - the land was occupied (videGenesis 12:6) -dwelt then in the land.
