Gênesis 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.

Gênesis 20:17 In-Context

15 E disse Abimeleque: “Minha terra está diante de ti; podes ficar onde quiseres”.
16 A Sara ele disse: “Estou dando a seu irmão mil peças de prata, para reparar a ofensa feita a você diante de todos os seus; assim todos saberão que você é inocente”.
17 A seguir Abraão orou a Deus, e Deus curou Abimeleque, sua mulher e suas servas, de forma que puderam novamente ter filhos,
18 porque o SENHOR havia tornado estéreis todas as mulheres da casa de Abimeleque por causa de Sara, mulher de Abraão.
