This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Abram said unto Lot. The elder, and wiser, and worthier person relinquisheth his own right to his inferior for peace sake, leaving us a noble example for our imitation.
Between me and thee, and between; or, or between, & c., and for or, as Exo_21:17 Psa_8:4, compared with Mat_15:14 Heb_2:6, for there was no strife between Abram and Lot, though he feared it might pass from the feet to the head.
For we be brethren, i.e. both by nature near kinsmen, as the word brother is oft used, and in the faith and religion too, amongst whom contentions are very indecent and scandalous.
