Musar for Genesis 13:2
וְאַבְרָ֖ם כָּבֵ֣ד מְאֹ֑ד בַּמִּקְנֶ֕ה בַּכֶּ֖סֶף וּבַזָּהָֽב׃
And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
And Abraham was very wealthy with livestock, silver, and gold, and he went on his journeys." We have explained earlier that "his journeys" are spiritual journeys, that he advanced to ever higher spiritual plateaus. The moral lesson here is that his growing material wealth did not interfere with his spiritual growth which continued unabated.
