Génesis 21:30 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 21:30

And he said
That is, Abraham replied to Abimelech: for these seven ewe lambs shall thou take of my hand;
as a present from him, to be retained as his own: that they may be a witness to me that I have digged this well:
these were to be a testimony that the well that had been taken away from Abraham was one that he had dug, and was his property, and which Abimelech acknowledged by his acceptance of these seven lambs; and very probably Abraham received a note from the hand of Abimelech, owning his reception of the seven lambs, and his title to the well, which these were a witness of.

Génesis 21:30 In-Context

28 Pero Abraham apartó siete corderas del rebaño,

29 por lo que Abimélec le preguntó:—¿Qué pasa? ¿Por qué has apartado estas siete corderas?

30 —Acepta estas siete corderas —le contestó Abraham—. Ellas servirán de prueba de que yo cavé este pozo.

31 Por eso a aquel lugar le dieron el nombre de Berseba, porque allí los dos hicieron un juramento.

32 Después de haber hecho el pacto en Berseba, Abimélec y Ficol, el jefe de su ejército, volvieron al país de los filisteos.
