Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 12:5

5. And Abram took Sarai his Wife, and Lot his Brothers Son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran, and they went forth to go into the Land of Canaan: and into the Land of Canaan they came.

(i. e.) The persons, as the word Souls is oft used, as Gen. 14. 21. and 17. 4. Exod. 12. 15. Levit. 2. 1. Numb. 23. 10. Deut. 24. 7. Mark 3. 4▪ &c.

Heb. made, (i. e.) either 1. begotten: for though Abram had yet no Children, Lot had, and both their servants had Children by their fellow-servants born in their house, which might well be numbred among Abrams and Lots persons, because they had an absolute dominion over them. Or 2. Instructed, (i. e.) turned from Idolatry, and taught in the true Religion, as the Chaldee expounds it: for such were most proper for Abram to take along with him out of his Fathers house in this expedition. Or 3. Gotten, (i. e.) procured, either by conquest or purchase, or any other lawful and usual way.
