Hey, this is Shelby and Scott.

We're walking through the book of Genesis.

And today we're in chapters 13 through 15.

We see a little bit of Abraham and Lott's relationship in these chapters.

And we also have this moment of

Abraham's covenant with God. So there's a lot, a lot going on. We said we're going to be saying

that a lot. And here we are saying that a lot. Scott, will you walk us through these chapters?

Yeah, absolutely. So something I think is cool in the Bible is how sometimes geography can be an indicator

of one's relationship with the Lord. And to go back real quick to 12, I think he's seen an example.

So we didn't cover this in the episode, but in chapter 12, you have this a moment where

Abraham goes down into Egypt to escape a famine and then come back up.

And it's definitely frowned upon.

And the text actually talks about him going down into Egypt and then as 13 begins, he comes up from Egypt.

And some scholars would kind of see a commentary there on, you know, he did wrong by going to Egypt.

He's doing right by coming out of Egypt.

But I think you see this with Lot, too.

And so you get this moment where these men are growing rich.

They realize they need to kind of divide their resources.

Abraham very deferentially lets him choose the land.

But Lot actually chooses a land

outside of the promised land that he had brought Abraham and his family too. He actually

goes outside the land toward Sodom. And it's a beautiful land ominously, Genesis 1310 compares
