Genesis 21:34
"And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines’ land many days."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days. Even many years, days being sometimes put for years; having entered into covenant with Abimelech, the king of the country, and

settled a good correspondence with him, and having his friendship and good will, which commanded respect from his subjects, Abraham sojourned very quietly and comfortably for many years, chiefly at Beersheba; the Jewish writers say (a) he sojourned here twenty six years. (a) Jarchi & Bereshit Rabba, sect. 54. fol. 48. 4. Next: Genesis Chapter 22 Sacred Texts | Bible « Previous: John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible: Genesis: Gene...
