Genesis 13:9 Is not the whole land before you? separate yourself, I pray you, from me: if you will take the left hand, then I will go to the right… An old writer tells of two brothers who went out to take a walls in the night, and one of them looked up to the sky and said, "I wish I had a pasture field as large as the night heaven." And the other brother looked up into the sky and said, "I wish I had as many oxen as there are stars in the sky." "Well," said the first, "how would you feed so many oxen?" Said the second, "I would turn them into your pasture." "What! whether I would or not." "Yes, whether you would or not." And there at once arose a quarrel, and when the quarrel ended, one had slain the other. Not less foolish have been many of the quarrels of modern times. One of the six things God hates is he that soweth discord among brethren. Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
