Gênesis 21:30 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 21:30

And he said
That is, Abraham replied to Abimelech: for these seven ewe lambs shall thou take of my hand;
as a present from him, to be retained as his own: that they may be a witness to me that I have digged this well:
these were to be a testimony that the well that had been taken away from Abraham was one that he had dug, and was his property, and which Abimelech acknowledged by his acceptance of these seven lambs; and very probably Abraham received a note from the hand of Abimelech, owning his reception of the seven lambs, and his title to the well, which these were a witness of.

Gênesis 21:30 In-Context

28 Abraão separou sete ovelhas do rebanho,

29 pelo que Abimeleque lhe perguntou: “Que significam estas sete ovelhas que separaste das demais?”

30 Ele respondeu: “Aceita estas sete ovelhas de minhas mãos como testemunho de que eu cavei este poço”.

31 Por isso aquele lugar foi chamado Berseba, porque ali os dois fizeram um juramento.

32 Firmado esse acordo em Berseba, Abimeleque e Ficol, comandante das suas tropas, voltaram para a terra dos filisteus.
