According to Moses, God blessed Abram and Lot so much that they had too many animals and things to live in the same place, so they couldn't stay together. They had to find different places to live because there wasn't enough room for everything they owned.

Genesis 13:6: And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

Contradiction with Genesis 1:28

This verse instructs humans to "be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth," which could contradict the implication of Genesis 13:6 that suggests limitations in the land to accommodate coexistence.

Genesis 1:28: And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. [moveth: Heb. creepeth]

Contradiction with Psalm 24:1

This verse states that "the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof," which contrasts with the notion in Genesis 13:6 that the land could not support both Abram and Lot.

Contradiction with Matthew 6:26

This verse suggests God's provision for all creatures, which contradicts the implication in Genesis 13:6 of insufficient resources for Abram and Lot.
