Génesis 26:16 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 26:16

And Abimelech said unto Isaac, go from us
Which was either said by way of advice, consulting Isaac's good, and the peace of his own kingdom; or else by way of command, enjoining him to depart, having a secret envy to him himself, or at least was jealous of his growing power and wealth: for thou art much mightier than we;
in riches or goods, as the Targum of Jonathan adds; or in number; his family being greatly increased, his servants numerous, many being born of them in his house; Abraham had three hundred and eighteen trained servants in his house, ( Genesis 14:14 ) ; how many Isaac had is not certain; they must be a large number for Abimelech to fear anything from them. Some choose to interpret the words, thou hast increased, or thou hast got much from us, and by us; and therefore it is high time for thee to be gone from us.

Génesis 26:16 In-Context

14 pues tenía rebaños de ovejas y vacadas y mucha servidumbre, y los filisteos le tenían envidia.
15 Y todos los pozos que los siervos de su padre habían cavado en los días de Abraham su padre, los filisteos los cegaron llenándolos de tierra.
16 Entonces Abimelec dijo a Isaac: Vete de aquí, porque tú eres mucho más poderoso que nosotros.
17 Isaac partió de allí, acampó en el valle de Gerar y se estableció allí.
18 Isaac volvió a cavar los pozos de agua que habían sido cavados en los días de su padre Abraham, porque los filisteos los habían cegado después de la muerte de Abraham, y les puso los mismos nombres que su padre les había puesto.
