This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Is not the whole land before thee? i.e. open to thy view, and free to choose which part thou pleasest, as thou canst agree with the owners: I give thee full power to choose before me. See a like phrase, Gen_20:15 34:10,21 47:6.
Thou wilt take: this and the following supplement are easily gathered both from the words of this and Gen_13:11, and from the nature of the thing. And the Hebrew language being a concise or short language, such supplements are frequently necessary, and very usual. Compare 2Ch_10:11, with 1Ki_12:11 2Sa_23:8, with 1Ch_11:11.
