Commentary on Genesis 13:14

Theological / Devotional

Lift up now thine eyes. This is the fourth occasion on which the patriarch was addressed directly by God. Each of these occasions marked a crisis in his life. Evidently approving the separation of Lot from Abram, God again bade Abram survey the country, all of which would eventually belong to him and his posterity. The divine command, “Lift up now thine eyes,” must have reminded Abram of Lot, who had recently “lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan” (v. 10). Although Lot had chosen that portion which appeared to be the most favorable part of the land, Abram was told that in time it would all belong to his descendants.
