The Bible Says
创世记 13:5-7 含义

罗得……也有羊群、牛群和帐篷。当时的财富主要以拥有的牲畜数量来衡量。和亚伯兰一样,罗得也积累了大量财富。

土地无法养活他们,上帝的祝福给亚伯兰和罗得带来了挑战。牲畜占了他们财产的大部分,而伯特利和艾城周围的土地没有足够的水和牧场供养如此多的羊群和牛群(创世记 13:10,26:17-22,32;36:7)。

亚伯兰的牧人和罗得的牧人之间发生了冲突;牧人因空间不足而争吵,争夺羊群的牧场。当时的人口也对良好的牧场提出了要求,因为迦南人和比利洗人当时居住在这片土地上。族长们经常因水和放牧权而发生争执,因此他们发展了迁徙的游牧生活方式。以撒和非利士人(创世记 26:12-22)、雅各和他的叔叔拉班(创世记 30:43)以及雅各和以扫(创世记 36:6-7)也面临着类似的挑战。

亚伯兰的孙子雅各(改名为以色列)将像他的祖父亚伯兰一样因饥荒返回埃及。他们将作为一个大国离开埃及。亚伯兰和罗得之间的这段故事指出,如果亚伯兰家族继续留在迦南放牧,他们很难成为一个大国。此时他们的族人可能有数百人,但他们仍然缺乏饲养牲畜的空间。上帝利用埃及的消极局面创造了非常积极的东西。在埃及,希伯来人生活得很近,这是肥沃的河流文化所允许的。这使得他们成为一个伟大而人口众多的国家,正如上帝对亚伯兰的承诺(创世记 12:2;13:16;15:5)。
