Genesis 13:7
“And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 13Meaning
Strife among the herdsmen develops in a land already inhabited by other groups, making competition for space more acute.
Read carefully
The mention of Canaanites and Perizzites is geographical and narrative; it is not a license to stereotype ancient or modern peoples.
Reflection
Internal conflict becomes more serious when a community is already living amid external pressures and limited resources.
