Gênesis 21:31 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 21:31

Wherefore he called that place Beersheba
Either Abraham or Abimelech, or both, called it so; or it may be read impersonally, "therefore the place was called Beersheba" F20, for two reasons, one implied, the other expressed; one was, because of the seven lambs before mentioned; so the Targum of Jonathan,

``and therefore he called the well the well of seven lambs;''
"Beer" signifying a well, and "sheba" seven; the other, and which is more certain, being expressed, is as follows; because there they sware both of them;
by the living God, to keep the covenant inviolably they had made between them.

Gênesis 21:31 In-Context

29 pelo que Abimeleque lhe perguntou: ā€œQue significam estas sete ovelhas que separaste das demais?ā€
30 Ele respondeu: ā€œAceita estas sete ovelhas de minhas mĆ£os como testemunho de que eu cavei este poƧoā€.
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.
33 Abraão, por sua vez, plantou uma tamargueira em Berseba e ali invocou o nome do SENHOR, o Deus Eterno.
