Hebrew Keyword: רִיב (riv, "strife" or "quarrel")
"Riv" means dispute or conflict, but in context it’s an opportunity to choose peace and respect. Abraham’s response models honesty, dignity, and forgiveness even when dividing land could have led to lasting division.
Even close relationships encounter tension. Learning from Abraham, you might pause to ask: how can I respond with dignity and generosity?
Reflection: Today, if a disagreement arises, what might it look like for you to step back and choose peace over rivalry?
