I proceed to Abraham's carriage toward foreigners that were not of his house, whether kinsmen or frinmen as we call them,1 he had one kinsman his Cousin german Lot, that was son to his brother Haran, him he loved very well, and studied to keep all good peace and correspondency with him, and to remove all contention, and for that end, when their states were grown so great, that they could not conveniently dwell together, because being sojourners they were to take up but the waste of the land, which no natural inhabitant had possessed, or else to take land for money of the inhabitants if they could spare the same, he came to Lot and made the motion of peace, and after gave him his offer to choose what part of the country he would, as you may read, Gen. 13.7.2
