Many Greek interpreters suggest that Abraham was generous in giving Lot the first pick of land when they separated. <ref>[[Ge 13:9]] [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.</ref> Abraham may or may not have been a generous man, but we do not know it from these verses. It was Lot's birthright, as successor to the firstborn to act on behalf of the firstborn. Lot was the house of Haran. It was was customary and proper for Abraham to defer to him.
Since Lot represents the first son, the expected pattern for the first-son/second-son theme is that he will be earthly rather than spiritual. There are two hints to this: the literal, and a riddle.
Literally, Loy chose the land that was green and pleasing to the eye <ref>[[Ge 13:10]] ΒΆ And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it [was] well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, [even] as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.</ref> Lot exhibits signs of the lust of the eyes.
