The Lord Will

Genesis 14:13

β€œAnd there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.”

KJV

Read in Genesis 14

Meaning

A survivor reaches Abram, called the Hebrew, and reports what happened to Lot and the captured population.

Read carefully

The label 'Hebrew' belongs to this ancient narrative context and should not be overloaded with later political meanings.

Reflection

Abram's identity is presented within real relationships and alliances rather than as isolation from surrounding peoples.
