Abram and his nephew Lot returned with their families from Egypt to the land of Canaan. When strife developed between Abram’s and Lot’s herdmen, Abram acted as a peacemaker between them. Abram and Lot parted ways, and Lot’s family was captured by an invading army while living in Sodom. Abram rescued Lot and his family from captivity and, upon returning home, received a blessing from the great high priest Melchizedek.
