創世記 26:8-11 JCB

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 26:11

Verse 11 11.And Abimelech charged all his people. In denouncing capital punishment against any who should do injury to this stranger, we may suppose him to have issued this edict as a special privilege; for it isnot customary thus rigidly to avenge every kind of injury. Whence, then, arose this disposition on the part of the king to prefer Isaac to all the native inhabitants of the country, and almost to treat him as an equal, except that some portion of the divine majesty shone forth in him,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 26:1-35

Line upon line, in God's teaching. Isaac, like his father, has his time of sojourn among the Philistines. The events of his intercourse with the Abimelech of his day resemble those of the former patriarch, though there are differences which show that the recurrence is historical . I. GOD REPEATS HIS LESSONS that they may make the deeper impression. The intention of the record is to preserve a certain line of Divine guidance . Isaac trod in the footsteps of Abraham. We have... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 26:7-11

A good man's transgression. I. A LIE TOLD . 1. An unmitigated lie. It was scarcely entitled to claim the apology of being what Abraham's falsehood was, an equivocation, Rebekah not being Isaac's half-sister, but cousin. 2. A deliberate lie. Asked about his relations to Rebekah, he coolly replies that they are sister and brother. He had no right to suppose his interrogators had ulterior designs against Rebekah's honor. 3. A cowardly lie. All falsehoods spring... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 26:8

And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time (literally, when were prolonged to him there the days ), that Abimelech king of the philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife — i . e . caressing and using playful liberties with her, which showed she was not a sister, but a wife— παίζοντα ( LXX .), jocantem (Vulgate). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 26:9

And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said ( sc . in my heart, or to myself), Lest I die for her. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 26:10

And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lain with thy wife ,—literally, within a little (cf. Psalms 73:2 ; Psalms 119:87 ) one of the people might have lain with thy wife— and thou shouldest — i . e . (within a little) thou mightest— have brought (or caused to come) guiltiness upon us (cf. Genesis 20:9 , where חַטָּאָה is used instead of אָשָׁם ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 26:11

And Abimelech charged all his (literally, the) people, saying, He that toucheth—in the sense of injureth (cf. Joshua 9:19 ; Psalms 105:15 )— this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. The similarity of this incident to that related in Genesis 20:1-18 . concerning Abraham in Gerar may be explained without resorting to the hypothesis of different authors, The stereotyped character of the manners of antiquity, especially in the East, is sufficient to account for the danger to... read more

Genesis 26:8. This Abimelech was not the same that was in Abraham’s days, (chapter 20.,) for this was near a hundred years after; but that was the common name of the Philistine kings, as Cesar of the Roman emperors. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 26:10

Genesis 26:10. Lightly Here, means perhaps. The heathen considered fornication either as no sin, or a very little one; but they had a different idea of adultery, considering it as heinous. Therefore, with a reference to it, Abimelech says, Thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us Probably it might be fresh in his memory how sorely God had punished his predecessor and all his family in the days of Abraham (chap. 20.) for only an intention of adultery. It is very observable here,... read more
