1562. Verse 5 And Lot also who went with Abram had flocks and herds and tents.

'And Lot also who went with Abram' means the external man residing in the Lord 'He had Rocks and herds and tents' means the things that the external man has in abundance, 'flocks and herds' being the possessions of the external man, 'tents' the details of his worship, which were separating themselves from the internal man.
