Génesis 21:24 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 21:24

And Abraham said, I will swear.
] Sensible of the many favours he had received from Abimelech in times past, and was still indulged with, he very readily agreed to his proposal; and the rather, as he knew by the vision between the pieces, that it would be four hundred years before his posterity should be put into the possession of the land of Canaan; and therefore could take an oath that neither he, nor his son, nor his grandson, should be injured or dispossessed.

Génesis 21:24 In-Context

22 En aquel tiempo Abimélec, que estaba acompañado por Ficol, jefe de su ejército, le dijo a Abraham:—Dios está contigo en todo lo que haces.
23 Júrame ahora, por Dios mismo, que no me tratarás a mí con falsedad, ni tampoco a mis hijos ni a mis descendientes. Júrame que a mí y al país que te ha recibido como extranjero nos tratarás con la misma lealtad con que yo te he tratado.
24 —¡Lo juro! —respondió Abraham.
25 Luego Abraham se quejó ante Abimélec por causa de un pozo de agua del cual los siervos de Abimélec se habían apropiado.
26 Pero Abimélec dijo:—No sé quién pudo haberlo hecho. Me acabo de enterar, pues tú no me lo habías dicho.
