Génesis 13:3 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 13:3

And he went on in his journeys from the south
He took the same tour, went the same road, stopping at the same resting places, as when he went down to Egypt; having learned, as Jarchi observes, the way of the earth, that a man should not change his host. Though some, as Ben Gersom, understand it of his taking his journeys as were suitable for his cattle, as they were able to bear them, and not overdrive them, lest he should kill them, but made short stages, and frequently stopped and rested. And thus he went on through the southern part of the land, until he came

even to Bethel;
as it was afterwards called, though now Luz, ( Genesis 28:19 )

unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning;
when he first came into the land of Canaan, to a mountain

between Bethel and Hai;
afterwards called Mount Ephraim, and was four miles from Jerusalem on the north F20; see ( Genesis 12:8 ) .

1 Subió, pues, Abram de Egipto al Neguev, él y su mujer con todo lo que poseía; y con él, Lot.
2 Y Abram era muy rico en ganado, en plata y en oro.
3 Y anduvo en sus jornadas desde el Neguev hasta Betel, al lugar donde su tienda había estado al principio, entre Betel y Hai,
4 al lugar del altar que antes había hecho allí; y allí Abram invocó el nombre del SEÑOR.
