152 Dev. 3, 11. 153 Chukas 25. 154 Ber. Rab. 42, 8; 48, 8. 155 Midrash Rabbah disagrees with Tanchuma because According to the plain meaning, this refers to Og ,èB¼ íÓï B¬eLÐt−ÌõÐñ

telling Avraham of Lot was simply to avenge his side’s defeat in the war. But, according to the explanation, that Og giving it the meaning “to a.” 145 "Ôñ" means “to the,” a definite article. 146 I.e., not having any preference as to
