The Lord Will

Genesis 13:18

β€œThen Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the Lord. ”

KJV

Read in Genesis 13

Meaning

Abram settles in the Hebron region and builds an altar, so the chapter closes with worship rather than possession or political triumph.

Read carefully

The exact identification of ancient sites and tree traditions should be treated cautiously where archaeological or textual evidence is uncertain.

Reflection

The final movement of the chapter ends not in possession or triumph but in worship and continued dependence on the LORD.
