Guiding Questions: Genesis 13

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. In Genesis 13:4, how is Genesis 12:8 “relived”?
  2. Why do Lot and Abram separate – and what is Abram’s formula for resolving the situation? (Genesis 13:5–13)
  3. Speculation: what would Abram have done if Lot had selected Canaan?
  4. In Genesis 13:13, are the Sodomites’ transgressions specified or hinted at?
  5. Genesis 13:14–16 contain what two “eternal promises” to Abram and his descendants?
  6. Where does Abram settle after the “promise” and what does he do of a religious nature?
  7. Accordingly, what three sites were graced by Abram’s altars?
