The verse Bereshit 13:1 tells us (Sefaria translation):




"From Egypt, Abram went up into the Negeb, with his wife and all that he possessed, together with Lot."




On this verse, the RaDaK comments the following:




ויעל וגו' וכל אשר לו, שלא נפקד ממנו דבר. ולוט עמו. אע"פ שהשבע במצרים לא רצה להפרד מאברהם




What is the השבע referring to, according to the RaDaK? Who were these seven people who came up from Egypt?

          The word is הַשָּׂבָע “hasava”, meaning satiety, rather than הַשֶּׁבַע “hasheva” meaning the seven.



          Radak is saying that despite there being food in Egypt, Lot was still willing to leave with Avraham.

            The comment from Radak is referring to Lot. השבע is not referring to The Seven, but means that Lot had satisfaction in Mitzrayim. They provided him what he wanted materially from life.



            This same idea continues in Bereshit 13:10-12 which points out how Lot ultimately chose the territory around Sodom over the balance of Canaan because it was like Mitzrayim.



            This is in contrast with Avraham, who rejected what Mitzrayim offered, like is pointed out in Bereshit 14:16-23 when Avram rejects what the King of Sodom offers him as a reward for his military victory.



            The essence of this is that Avraham trusted that G-d would provide for him materially with whatever he needed. And this is the meaning of Bereshit 15:1, where Avram is promised that G-d will be his shield and his reward would be very great.

Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar.
