The Ways Of Brothers

Fratres enim sumus... Tribus enim modis in Scriptura sancta fratres vocantur: natura, sicut Jacob et Isaac: cognatione, sicut Abraham et Lot; Lot enim filius fuerat fratris sui Aran: gente, sicut omnes Judaei fratres dicuntur, dicente lege: Si attenuatus frater tuus Hebraeus vendiderit se tibi. Et attendendum quanta cura concordiae sancto viro fuerit propter quam custodiendam optionem dedit Lot, ut aut ipse pergeret illo remanente aut certe, si ipse alibi vellet recedere, ipse ibi maneret. Remigius Antissiodorensis, Commentarius In Genesim, Caput XIII Source: Migne PL 131.83b

For we are brothers... 1 Brothers are spoken of in three ways in Sacred Scripture: by nature, as Jacob and Isaac; by relation, as Abraham and Lot, for Lot was the son of his brother Aran; and by people, as all the Jews are brothers, with the law saying: 'If your Hebrew brother falls into poverty and sells himself to you...' 2 And let it be noted how much care there is in this holy man for peace, because of which he gives the choice to Lot, that either he will go and Lot will remain, or if Lot wishes to go elsewhere, he will remain. Remigius of Auxerre, Commentary On Genesis, Chapter 13 1 Gen 13.8 2 Levit 25.23
