Génesis 13:12 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 13:12

Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan
In that part of the land strictly so called, where the family of the Canaanites had their abode; for otherwise taking Canaan in a more general sense, the plain of Jordan, and cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, were in the land of Canaan. And Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain;
in the neighbourhood of them, or near those cities, which were built on the plain of Jordan, for he could not dwell in more than one, if in one; for it looks as if at his first settlement he did not dwell in any, but near them all, especially Sodom: since it follows, and pitched [his] tent toward Sodom,
or "even unto Sodom" F1; and it may be rendered, as it is by some, "he pitched his tents" F2, for himself, his family, and his servants, his shepherds and his herdsmen, which reached unto Sodom, and where he afterwards dwelt, at least at the gate of it.

Génesis 13:12 In-Context

10 Y alz贸 Lot sus ojos, y vio toda la llanura del Jord谩n, que toda ella era de riego, antes que destruyese el SE脩OR a Sodoma, y a Gomorra, como un huerto del SE脩OR, como la tierra de Egipto entrando en Zoar.
11 Entonces Lot escogi贸 para s铆 toda la llanura del Jord谩n; y se fue Lot al oriente, y se apartaron el uno del otro.
12 Abram se asent贸 en la tierra de Cana谩n, y Lot se asent贸 en las ciudades de la llanura, y puso sus tiendas hasta Sodoma.
13 Mas los hombres de Sodoma eran malos y pecadores para con el SE脩OR en gran manera.
14 Y el SE脩OR dijo a Abram, despu茅s que Lot se apart贸 de 茅l: Alza ahora tus ojos, y mira desde el lugar donde t煤 est谩s hacia el aquil贸n, y al mediod铆a, y al oriente y al occidente;
