創世記 21:32 RCUVTS

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 21:22-34

Abraham and Abimelech Covenant Genesis 21:22-34 Abimelech was impressed with Abraham’s growing prosperity. He felt that it could not be explained on merely natural grounds. “God is with thee in all that thou doest.” He sought, therefore, to secure the well-being of himself and his kingdom by forming an amicable treaty. Abraham immediately indicated that, while willing to meet him, they must first have a clear understanding about a certain injustice which he had suffered. As our Lord taught... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 21:1-34

At last in God's 'Set time," and in spite of all natural difficulties, the long-promised son was born. Sarah who at an earlier point had laughed with the laughter of incredulity, now laughed with the laughter of realization. There is something vivid and startling, even, in the story of Ishmael. It was necessary that, because of an act of unbelief, the son should be cast out in order to carry out the divine purpose. Yet in this act the tenderness of God is revealed in that He "heard the voice... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 21:32

‘So they made a covenant at Beersheba, and Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.’ The treaty having been satisfactorily concluded the pair return to their land which is called ‘the land of the Philistines (see above prior to verse 1). In a sense, of course they are already in the land of the Philistines (Genesis 21:34) but the differentiation is made to demonstrate that now this part they have left is under Abraham’s... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 21:1-34

Genesis 12:1 to Genesis 25:18 . The Story of Abraham.— In this section the three main sources, J. E, P are present. Gunkel has given strong reasons for holding that J is here made up of two main sources, one connecting Abraham with Hebron, the other with Beersheba and the Negeb. The former associates Abraham with Lot. (For details, see ICC.) On the interpretation to be placed on the figures of Abraham and the patriarchs, see the Introduction. The interest, which has hitherto been diffused... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 21:22-34

Genesis 21:22-Nahum : . Abraham and Abimelech Make a Covenant at Beersheba.— Probably from JE. The analysis is uncertain; perhaps Genesis 21:25 f., Genesis 21:28-Amos :, Genesis 21:32-Nahum : belong to J, the rest to E. One narrative represents Abraham as making a covenant of friendship with Abimelech at the king’ s request, the other as securing a recognition from Abimelech of his claim to the wells of Beersheba. The point of Genesis 21:25 f. is probably that whenever Abraham reproved... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 21:22-32

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 21:22. Phichol.] Name signifies “mouth of all,” i.e., all-commanding. Probably an official title. Genesis 21:23. Nor with my son, nor with my son’s son.] The LXX. has “neither my seed, nor my name.” Murphy renders it kin and kith, “to represent the conversational alliterative phrase of the original.” Genesis 21:31. Beersheba.] “The well of the oath,” or, “the well of the seven.” The latter meaning may have some allusion to the seven lambs by which Abraham secured the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 21:1-34

Genesis 21:0 In the story of Hagar and Ishmael, we notice: I. The outcast. As Abraham is the father of all the faithful, so the Arab Ishmael is the father of all our outcasts. He was an impudent boy, who mocked his betters, and became "a wild ass of a man," whose hand was against every man. Do not despise the poor outcast children of our cities. Respect them for their sorrows; take them into your pity; let them find a home in your heart. For are we not all outcasts, the children of Adam the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 21:1-34

Now the LORD visited Sarah as he had said ( Genesis 21:1 ),I like this.and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken ( Genesis 21:1 ).I like that, "as He had said, and as He had spoken." I've got that underlined that just sort of hit me. "The Lord visited Sarah as he had said." The Lord keeps His word. The Lord is faithful to His promise. He may not do it as quickly as we would like Him to do it. Abraham been waiting for thirteen years, you know, since the last promise was made. And he was... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 21:1-34

Genesis 21:3-6 . Isaac; that is, laughter or holy joy. Luke 6:21. Sarah had once laughed through unbelief; now being ashamed of that, she could sing with Mary, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Genesis 21:7. Who would have thought that Sarah should have given suck! The Hebrew women with their last child have often given suck three years. Samuel was not weaned till he could attend the tabernacle. In the isles of the Pacific ocean, princes have... read more
