2 Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
2 Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
2 By now Abram was very rich, loaded with cattle and silver and gold.
2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
2 (Abram was very rich in livestock, silver, and gold.)
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Genesis 13:2
Commentary on Genesis 13:1-4
(Read Genesis 13:1-4)
Abram was very rich: he was very heavy, so the Hebrew word is; for riches are a burden; and they that will be rich, do but load themselves with thick clay, Mark 10:23,24. Nay, outward prosperity, if well managed, is an ornament to piety, and an opportunity for doing more good. Abram removed to Beth-el. His altar was gone, so that he could not offer sacrifice; but he called on the name of the Lord. You may as soon find a living man without breath as one of God's people without prayer.
