Gênesis 26:27 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 26:27

And Isaac said unto them, wherefore come ye to me
What is the meaning of this visit? what has brought you hither? it cannot be from affection and friendship to me: seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
the latter he mentions as a proof of the former; they envied his prosperity, and hated him on that account, and therefore expelled him their country, or at least would not suffer him to dwell among them; and still more glaring proofs were given of the hatred of the men of Gerar to him, not only by stopping up his father's wells, but by striving and contending with him about those he dug in the valley after he was gone from them; one of which he called "Sitnah", from their hatred of him.

Gênesis 26:27 In-Context

25 Isaque construiu nesse lugar um altar e invocou o nome do SENHOR. Ali armou acampamento, e os seus servos cavaram outro poço.
26 Por aquele tempo, veio a ele Abimeleque, de Gerar, com Auzate, seu conselheiro pessoal, e Ficol, o comandante dos seus exércitos.
27 Isaque lhes perguntou: “Por que me vieram ver, uma vez que foram hostis e me mandaram embora?”
28 Eles responderam: “Vimos claramente que o SENHOR está contigo; por isso dissemos: Façamos um juramento entre nós. Queremos firmar um acordo contigo:
29 Tu não nos farás mal, assim como nada te fizemos, mas sempre te tratamos bem e te despedimos em paz. Agora sabemos que o SENHOR te tem abençoado”.
