The Torah tells that Avraham amassed a considerable fortune during his brief stay in Egypt and returned to Canaan a wealthy man (13:2). A subsequent verse adds, "And also Lot, who traveled with Avram, had sheep, cattle and tents." As noted by Rav Shimshon Refael Hirsch, this verse presents a subtle portrayal of Lot's character, and the unfortunate nature of his relationship with Avraham.
