Génesis 20:17 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 20:17

So Abraham prayed unto God
As the Lord had told Abimelech be would, ( Genesis 20:7 ) ; he might pray for the forgiveness of him and his wife, and might give thanks that Sarah had been restored to him; but chiefly it was on account of Abimelech and his family: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants:
who by reason of some disease were rendered unfit for and incapable of cohabitation with their husbands, and they with them; but upon Abraham's prayer for them, who was heard, they were healed, and the disorder removed; the Targum of Jonathan is,

``his wife and concubines;''

and they bare [children];
cohabited and conceived, and bare and brought forth children, all which are comprehended in this expression.

Génesis 20:17 In-Context

15 Después Abimelec le dijo:
—Revisa mis tierras y escoge cualquier lugar donde te gustaría vivir.

16 Y le dijo a Sara:
—Mira, le entrego a tu “hermano” mil piezas de plata
en presencia de todos estos testigos, para compensarte por cualquier daño que pudiera haberte causado. Esto resolverá todo reclamo contra mí, y tu reputación quedará limpia.

17 Entonces Abraham oró a Dios, y Dios sanó a Abimelec, a su esposa y a sus siervas para que pudieran tener hijos.

18 Pues el Señor
había hecho que todas las mujeres quedaran estériles debido a lo que pasó con Sara, la esposa de Abraham.
