Genesis 13:2
v. 2: Abram was now very rich in cattle, silver, and gold. The Hebrew word for "rich" means "heavy," showing that wealth can be a burden. Riches bring worries, temptations, and responsibilities. Still, God sometimes makes good people wealthy as part of his blessing, and prosperity can be used for good if managed well (Hab. 2:6; Prov. 10:22 a).
