Génesis 21:31 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 21:31

Wherefore he called that place Beersheba
Either Abraham or Abimelech, or both, called it so; or it may be read impersonally, "therefore the place was called Beersheba" F20, for two reasons, one implied, the other expressed; one was, because of the seven lambs before mentioned; so the Targum of Jonathan,

``and therefore he called the well the well of seven lambs;''
"Beer" signifying a well, and "sheba" seven; the other, and which is more certain, being expressed, is as follows; because there they sware both of them;
by the living God, to keep the covenant inviolably they had made between them.

Génesis 21:31 In-Context

29 Y Abimelec dijo a Abraham: ¿Qué significan estas siete corderas que has puesto aparte?
30 Y él respondió: Tomarás estas siete corderas de mi mano para que esto me sirva de testimonio de que yo cavé este pozo.
31 Por lo cual llamó aquel lugar Beerseba , porque allí juraron los dos.
32 Hicieron, pues, un pacto en Beerseba; y se levantó Abimelec con Ficol, jefe de su ejército, y regresaron a la tierra de los filisteos.
33 Y Abraham plantó un tamarisco en Beerseba, y allí invocó el nombre del SEÑOR, el Dios eterno.
