創世記 22:20-22 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 22:20-24

This is recorded here, 1. To show that though Abraham saw his own family highly dignified with peculiar privileges, admitted into covenant, and blessed with the entail of the promise, yet he did not look with contempt and disdain upon his relations, but was glad to hear of the increase and prosperity of their families. 2. To make way for the following story of the marriage of Isaac to Rebekah, a daughter of this family. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 22:20

And it came to pass, after these things ,.... Abraham's taking his son Isaac to the land of Moriah, building an altar on one of the mountains there, and laying him on it with an intention to sacrifice him, and offering of a ram in his stead, and the return of them both to Beersheba: that it was told Abraham ; by some person very probably who was lately come from those parts where the following persons lived; though Jarchi suggests this was told him by the Lord himself, and while he was... read more

Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother ,.... The first of these gave name to the land of Uz, where Job dwelt, and who seems to be a descendant of this man, Job 1:1 ; and from whom sprung the Ausitae of Ptolemy F16 Geograph. l. 5. c. 19. , who dwelt near Babylon and by the Euphrates. The latter, was the father of the Buzites, of which family Elihu was, that interposed between Job and his friends, Job 32:2 , and Kemuel the father of Aram ; not that Aram from whom the Syrians are... read more

And Chesed ,.... From whom it is generally thought sprung the Chaldees, who are commonly called Chasdim; but mention is made of the Chaldees before this man was born, unless they are called so by anticipation; See Gill on Genesis 10:22 , and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel ; of these men and their posterity we hear no more, excepting: the last, for whose sake the rest are mentioned. Hazo or Chazo settled in Elymais, a country belonging to Persia, where is now a city called... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:20

Behold, Milcah, she hath also borne children unto thy brother - This short history seems introduced solely for the purpose of preparing the reader for the transactions related Genesis 24, and to show that the providence of God was preparing, in one of the branches of the family of Abraham, a suitable spouse for his son Isaac. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 22:21

Huz - He is supposed to have peopled the land of Uz or Ausitis, in Arabia Deserta, the country of Job. Buz his brother - From this person Elihu the Buzite, one of the friends of Job, is thought to have descended. Kemuel the father of Aram - Kamouel πατερα Συρων , the father of the Syrians, according to the Septuagint. Probably the Kamiletes, a Syrian tribe to the westward of the Euphrates are meant; they are mentioned by Strabo. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 22:20

And it came to pass after these things (probably not long after his return to Beersheba), that it was told (by some unknown messenger or accidental traveler from Mesopotamia) Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah ( vide Genesis 11:29 ), she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor— as Sarah has born a son to thee. From this it would almost seem as if Milcah had not begun to have her family at the time Abram left Ur of the Chaldees; but vide Genesis 11:30 . The present brief... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 22:20-24

Good news from a far country. I. THE JOYFUL BUDGET . 1. Tidings from home . For nearly half a century Abraham had been a wanderer in Palestine, and with something like an emigrant's emotion on receiving letters from the old country would the patriarch listen to the message come from Haran beyond the river. 2. News concerning Nahor . It demands no violent exercise of fancy to believe that Abraham regarded his distant brother with intense fraternal affection, and that... read more

Huz his firstborn ,—( vide Genesis 10:23 , where Uz appears as a son of Aram; and Genesis 36:28 , where he recurs as a descendant of Esau. That he was a progenitor of Job (Jerome) has no better foundation than Job 1:1 — and Buz his brother ,—mentioned along with Dedan and Tema as an Arabian tribe ( Jeremiah 25:23 ), and may have been an ancestor of Elihu ( Job 32:2 )— and Kemuel the father of Aram . " Not the founder of the Arameans, but the forefather of the family of Ram,... read more

And Chesed, —according to Jerome the father of the Chasdim or Chaldees ( Genesis 11:28 ); but more generally regarded as the head of a younger branch or offshoot of that race (Keil, Murphy, Lange; cf. Job 1:17 )— and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph (concerning whom nothing is known), and Bethnel —"man of God" (Gesenius); dwelling of God (Furst); an indication probably of his piety. read more
