Commentary

And Abimelech said unto Abraham,.... Observing what he had done, and not knowi ng the design of it: what mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? he understood what the sheep and oxen were for, that they were presents to him, at least some of them, and the rest were for the solemnizing and ratifying the covenant between them; but what these were for he could not devise.
