Genesis 13:8
“And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 13Meaning
Abram appeals to kinship and directly seeks an end to the strife before the conflict between the households grows worse.
Read carefully
Peacemaking here is exemplary, but the verse does not require people in harmful or abusive situations to remain close or surrender necessary boundaries.
Reflection
Kinship is treated as a reason to pursue peace before conflict hardens into lasting hostility.
