Genesis 13:4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on God.

Genesis 13:7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite.(Exodus 34:11).dwelled then in the land.

Genesis 13:8,9 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee and between my herdmen and thy herdmen, for we be brethren. Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me. If thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

Genesis 13:14,15 And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward. For all the land which you see, to you will I give it and to your seed for ever. 

Genesis 13:16 And I will make your seed as the dust of the Earth. So that if a man can number the dust of the Earth, then shall your seed also be numbered.

Genesis 13:17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it, for I will give it unto you.

Genesis 14:1 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar.(now Armenia), Chedorlaomer king of Elam and Tidal king of nations.(as he came to be called), 

Genesis 14:2 That these made war with Bera king of Sodom and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah and Shemeber king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.

Genesis 14:3,4 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea. Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

Genesis 14:5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim and the Zuzims in Ham and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim.

Genesis 14:5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer.(the Khudur-lagamar of the inscriptions, king of Elam; more).and the kings that were with him and smote the Rephaims.(Deuteronomy 2:10,11.20,21).in Ashteroth Karnaim and the Zuzims in Ham and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim.

Genesis 14:6 And the Horites.(the original cave dwellers; they dwelt in the many caves of limestone in Edom).in their mount Seir.(the ancient city of Petra), unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.

Horites were just one of the ancient tribes extant way back when. Who were the others?.Genesis 15:19-21.

Genesis 14:7 And they returned and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh.(the sacred city of the Hittites {Exodus 34:11}, on the left bank of the Orontes, about 4 miles south of the Lake of Homs. It is identified with the great mound Tell Neby Mendeh, some 50 to 100 feet high and 400 yards long. On the ruins of the temple of Karnak in Egypt, has been found an inscription recording the capture of Kadesh by Rameses II).and smote all the country of the Amalekites and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar.(later called Engedi {also called Hazon-Tamar in other places}, famed for its palm trees). 

Genesis 14:8-11 And there went out the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela; the same is Zoar. And they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim. With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam and with Tidal king of nations and Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar, four kings with five. And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled and fell there and they that remained fled to the mountain. And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their victuals and went their way.

Genesis 14:8-11 And there went out the king of Sodom.(Jude 1:7).and the king of Gomorrah.(*).and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela; the same is Zoar.(Numbers 13:22). And they joined battle with them in the vale.(valley).of Siddim. With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam and with Tidal king of nations.(his name is Turanian or Hamitic, the original element of Babylonia's early population; in the cuneiform inscriptions resembling Tidal is Tudhula or as it was probably later pronounced, Tudhul).and Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar, four kings with five.(five kings came out and joined battle with the four in the dale {a valley} of Siddim; this dale abounded in pits of mineral pitch or asphalt). And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits.(mud from wet ground from springs).and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled and fell there and they that remained fled to the mountain. And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their victuals and went their way.

Genesis 14:12,13 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom and his goods and departed. And there came one that had escaped and told Abram the Hebrew, for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner and these were confederate with Abram.

Genesis 14:14 And when Abram heard that his brother.(was really his nephew as Genesis 11:31 shows, one of the family of Abraham).was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen and pursued them unto Dan.(the land where the tribe of Dan dwelt).

Genesis 14:15-17 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night and smote them and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus. And he brought back all the goods and also brought again his brother Lot and his goods and the women also and the people. And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.(valley coursed by a stream).

Genesis 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine. He was the priest of the most high God.(original has this sentence 'priest most high God' {?}). 

Genesis 14:19 And he blessed him and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and Earth.(*).

Genesis 14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which has delivered your enemies into your hand. And he.(Abram).gave him tithes of all.

Genesis 14:21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the people and take the goods for yourself.

Genesis 14:22,23 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the most high God, the possessor of heaven and Earth, That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet and that I will not take anything that is yours, lest you should say, I have made Abram rich.

Genesis 14:24 Save.(another word for 'except').only that which the young men have eaten and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol and Mamre; let them take their portion.

Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram. I am your shield and your exceeding great reward.

Genesis 15:2-4 And Abram said, God, what will you give me, seeing I go childless and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? Then Abram said, Behold, to me you have given no seed and lo, one born in my house is mine heir.(since I have no children I'll have to make him my heir). And behold, the word of God came unto him, saying, This shall not be your heir, but he that shall come forth out of your own bowels.(inner parts of your own body).shall be your heir.

Genesis 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad and said, Look now toward heaven and tell the stars, if you be able to number them and he said unto him, So shall your seed be..('seed' is Abraham's progeny {his offspring, his children})

Genesis 15:6 And he believed God and God counted it to him for righteousness.

Genesis 15:6 And he.(Abraham).believed God and God counted it to him.(Proverbs 8:6-8; Isaiah 42:6; Romans 4:3; Galatians 3:6; James 2:23).for righteousness. 

You too can know if you are of God, if you believe God and besides that, how else can you know?

Abraham became a friend of God:.Isaiah 41:8.

Genesis 15:7,8 And he said unto him, I am God that brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it. And he said, God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?

Genesis 15:9 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old and a she goat of three years old and a ram of three years old and a turtledove and a young pigeon.

Genesis 15:10 And he took unto him all these and divided them in the midst and laid each piece one against another, but the birds divided he not.

Genesis 15:11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.

Genesis 15:13,14 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety.(know for sure).that your seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs and shall serve them and they shall afflict them four hundred years.(Abraham/Abram's descendants did go into captivity {2Chronicles 36:10} in Egypt and were there for about 430 years, until Moses brought them out into what's called the promised land:.Numbers 13:18-21); And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge.(we'll see how they treat you during this time). And afterward shall they come out with great substance.

Exodus 12:34-36.

Genesis 15:15 And you shall go to your fathers in peace. You shall be buried in a good old age.

Genesis 15:16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again, for the.iniquity.of the Amorites is.not yet full.

They haven't as yet had enough time for them to come to see if they can turn from their evilness:.1Timothy 4:2. Same for our time today. But, now the time of evil is over:.2Peter 3:9.

The.Amorites.descended from a son of Canaan, apparently named Emer. They were a nation in early history of very large people.(Amos 2:9).who became increasingly evil the longer they were around. They seemed to have vanished quickly, perhaps any remnant of them being absorbed into neighboring nations;.Adam Clarke's Commentary:."From these words we learn that there is a certain pitch of iniquity to which nations may arrive before they are destroyed and beyond which Divine justice does not permit them to pass".Why?.2Peter 3:9.

Genesis 15:17 And it came to pass that, when the sun went down and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

What pieces were these? Seems like some information may have been removed, perhaps by those wanting to keep it esoteric, like all the many things today kept from people, now being revealed by Dr. Steven Greer and others. Could this have been some kind of spaceship with which the non terrestrials and even the angels, etc. may use?.Genesis 11:7; 28:10-13,18;Ezekiel 1:4-28; 10:1-22; Exodus 24:10; Daniel 7:9; Revelation 4:1; 4:9;  *. In the case of angels, they could become a spaceship themselves, similar to what they can do today in becoming buildings. Don't know why then, that they would use a spacecraft. Maybe they like to sit when they travel?

Genesis 15:18 In the same day God made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto your seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates.

Genesis 15:19-21 The.Kenites.and the.Kenizzites..and the.Kadmonites..and the.Hittites.and the.Perizzites.and the.Rephaims, And the.Amorites.and the.Canaanites.and the.Girgashites.and the.Jebusites.

Genesis 15:19-21 The.Kenites.(Heber and the Rechabites were their descendants; they occupied the area extending from to Arabia Petraea {Western Arabia [map]} in the region of Petra; the entire area covers some 1,500 miles from north to south and 1,200 from east to west, with the north bounded by part of Syria and on the east by the Persian Gulf.(map).and the Euphrates and on the south by the Arabian Sea and the straits of Babelmandel and on the west by the Red Sea, Egypt and Palestine; Arabia is distinguished by geographers into three parts, Deserta, Petraea and Felix).and the.Kenizzites.(comprised with.American Tract Bible Dictionary:.an ancient people of Canaan, whose land God promised {verse 18 above} to the descendants of Abraham; the Kenizzites appear to have mingled with other Canaanites and lost their distinctive name sometime before the time of Joshua; careful to not confuse them with the Kenezites, the children of Kenaz).and the.Kadmonites.(a tribe of Canaanites who inhabited the promised land {Numbers 13:25-28} east of the Jordan river, about mount Hermon; often called.the children of the east.from 'Kedem' meaning 'children of the east' {Judges 6:3} whose tribes roamed in the wilds, south and southeast Palestine).and the.Hittites.(*).and the.Perizzites.(*).and the.Rephaims.(*), And the.Amorites.(*).and the.Canaanites.(*).and the.Girgashites.(a people established early in Canaan, the origin of whom is not known, except that they were descended from Canaan {Genesis 10:16} and with the Geshurites, Gezrites and Amalekites {see just below}, dwelt close to the border of southern Judah).and the.Jebusites.(*).

and there were other '...ites' such as the.Amalekites.(*), Ammonites.(*), Arkites.(*), Arvadites.(*), Arvites.(*), Carmites.(*),Gadites.(*), Geshurites & Gezrites.(*), Gibeonites.(*),Hagarites.(*), Hamathites.(*), Hamulites.(*), Hezronites.(*),Hivites.(*) Horites.(*), Jerahmeelites.(*),Jezerites.(*), Maachathites.(*), Maonites.(*), Midianites.(*), Moabites.(*),Shillemites.(*), Sidonians.(*),.Sinites.(*), Zemarites.(*).and similar, such as the Emins.(*).and the Zuzims, aka.Zamzummins.(*). Where did they all come from and when did they appear on Earth, these who were mostly against the human people God made back then?

Genesis 16:1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children. And she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar

Genesis 16:2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, God has restrained me from bearing. I pray thee, go in unto my maid. It may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

Genesis 16:3,4 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife. And he went in unto Hagar and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress.(Sarah).was despised in her eyes.

Genesis 16:5-8 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee.(I have caused you to do wrong). I have given my maid into your bosom and when I saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. God judge between me and her. But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand.(Abraham not the kindest guy at this time). Do to her as it pleases you. And when Sarai dealt harshly with her, she fled from her face. And the angel of God found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, where are you coming from and where will ou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.

Genesis 16:9-10 And the angel of God said unto her, Return to your mistress and submit yourself under her hands. And the angel said unto her, I will multiply your seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

Genesis 16:11 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, you are with child and shall bear a son and call his name Ishmael because God has heard your affliction. 

Genesis 16:12 And he will be a wild man.(Genesis 21:20); his hand will be against every man and every man's hand against him and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

They maintain their independence amongst each other, the many Arab lines are like this today as well. It's part of their inborn nature.

Genesis 16:13,14 And she called to God that spoke unto her, God see me, for she said, Here I am looking after Ishmael who will soon be born and God sees all this..(Clarke's Commentary: Her words seem to intimate that she had been seeking God's help and protection all along).Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi.(means 'well of the Living One seeing me'); behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

Genesis 16:15 And Hagar bare Abram a son. And Abram called his son's name which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

Genesis 16:16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old.(86), when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
