Genesis 20:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 20:15

And Abimelech said, behold, my whole land [is] before thee,
&c.] Instead of bidding him be gone, and sending him away in haste out of his country, as the king of Egypt did in a like case, he solicits his stay in it; and to encourage him to it, makes an offer of his whole kingdom to him, to choose which part of it he would to dwell in: dwell where it pleaseth thee;
if there was anyone part of it better than another, or more convenient for him, his family and his flocks, he was welcome to it.

Genesis 20:15 In-Context

13 When God led me away from my father's household, I said to her, ‘This is the loyalty I expect from you: in each place we visit, tell them, “He is my brother.”'"
14 Abimelech took flocks, cattle, male servants, and female servants, and gave them to Abraham; and Abimelech returned his wife Sarah.
15 Abimelech said, "My land is here available to you. Live wherever you wish."
16 To Sarah, he said, "I've given your brother one thousand pieces of silver. It means that neither you nor anyone with you has done anything wrong. Everything has been set right."
17 Abraham prayed to God; and God restored Abimelech, his wife, and his women servants to health, and they were able to have children.
