Abram's riches reflect God's blessing upon him. His wealth is measured in the currency of the ancient world: livestock (live capital), precious metals (portable value), and other goods. The Egyptian sojourn increased his material abundance.
Wealth in Scripture can be a sign of God's favor, though riches also test character and faith. Abram's holdings are substantial enough to support a large household and shape the events that follow.
