John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 20:3

Verse 3 3.But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night. Here Moses shows that the Lord acted with such gentleness, that in punishing his servant, he yet, as a father, forgave him: just as he deals with us, so that, while chastising us with his rod, his mercy and his goodness far exceed his severity. Hence also we infer, that he takes greater care of the pious than carnal sense can understand; since he watches over them while they sleep. This also is to be carefully noticed; that however we may... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 20:1

And Abraham journeyed ( vide Genesis 12:9 ) from thence. Mamre ( Genesis 18:1 ). In search of pasture, as on a previous occasion (Keil); or in consequence of the hostility of his neighbors (Calvin); or because he longed to escape from the scene of so terrible a calamity as he had witnessed (Calvin, Wilier, Murphy); or in order to benefit as many places and peoples as possible by his residence among them ( A Lapide); or perhaps being impelled by God, who designed thereby to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 20:1-18

Abraham in Gerar, or two royal sinners. I. THE SIN OF THE HEBREW PATRIARCH 1. An old sin repeated . "Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister." Twenty years before the same miserable equivocation had been circulated in Egypt. A sin once committed is not difficult to repeat, especially if its legitimate consequences, as in the case of Abraham and Sarah, have been mercifully averted. One is apt to fancy that a like immunity will attend its repetition. 2. A ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 20:2

And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister . As formerly he had done on descending into Egypt ( Genesis 12:13 ). That Abraham should a second time have resorted to this ignoble expedient after the hazardous experience of Egypt and the richly-merited rebuke of Pharaoh, but more especially after the assurance he had lately received of his own acceptance before God ( Genesis 15:6 ), and of Sarah's destiny to be the mother of the promised seed ( Genesis 17:16 ), is well nigh... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 20:2

Falsehood the fruit of unbelief. "Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister." Notice how imperfectly the obligation of truth recognized in Old Testament times. Not only among heathen, or those who knew little of God ( Joshua 2:5 ; 2 Kings 10:18 ), but godly men among God's own people ( Genesis 26:7 ; 1 Samuel 27:10 ). Yet the excellence of truth was known, and its connection with the fear of God ( Exodus 18:21 ; Psalms 15:2 ). Not until manifested in Christ does truth... read more

But God — Elohim ; whence the present chapter, with the exception of Genesis 20:18 , is assigned to the Elohist (Tuch, De Wette, Bleek, Davidson), and the incident at Gerar explained as the original legend, of which the story of Sarah's abduction by Pharaoh is the Jehovistic imitation.

Genesis 20:1-2 . And Abraham sojourned in Gerar Which belonged to the Philistines. We are not told upon what occasion he removed; whether terrified by the destruction of Sodom, or, as some of the Jewish writers say, because he was grieved at Lot’s incest with his daughters, and the reproach which the Canaanites cast upon him for his kinsman’s sake. The king of Gerar sent and took her To his house, in order to the taking of her to his bed. read more

Genesis 20:3. But God came to Abimelech in a dream It appears by this that God revealed himself by dreams, which evidenced themselves to be divine and supernatural, not only to his servants the prophets, but even to those that were out of the pale of the church; but then usually it was with some regard to God’s own people. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 20:1-18

Abraham deceives Abimelech (20:1-18)From Hebron Abraham moved into the territory of the Philistine king Abimelech. As a result of Abraham’s deceit concerning Sarah, Abimelech took Sarah as a wife and brought God’s threat of death upon him (20:1-7). Upon discovering the truth, Abimelech acted quickly and honourably. He restored Sarah’s honour in the eyes of the people, gave gifts to Abraham, and invited Abraham to settle in his land (8-16). Humbled by these events, Abraham turned again in faith... read more
