Genesis 12:1 ASV, Genesis 12:4 ASV, Genesis 13:1 ASV and Genesis 13:5-7 ASV

Alright, so it's a silly play on words, but it's true. Abram was told to "get out of your country, and away from your family and your fathers house." So when Abram left, he took his wife, his substance...and his nephew Lot. Later a conflict arises when Lot and Abram realize they are too big to stay together, and their men are not getting along. This isn't the end of problems stemming from Lot and his family either - we'll learn more about him later. I always wondered how things would have been different had Abram not taken Lot along.
