Genesi 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.

Genesi 20:17 In-Context

15 "Ecco, il mio paese ti sta dinanzi; dimora dovunque ti piacerà". E a Sara disse:
16 "Ecco, io ho dato tuo fratello mille pezzi d’argento; questo ti sarà un velo sugli occhi di fronte a tutti quelli che sono teco, e sarai giustificata dinanzi a tutti".
17 E Abrahamo pregò Dio, e Dio guarì Abimelec, la moglie e le serve di lui, ed esse poteron partorire.
18 Poiché l’Eterno avea del tutto resa sterile l’intera casa di Abimelec, a motivo di Sara moglie di Abrahamo.
