Genesis 21:25–26

21:25 But Abraham lodged a complaint48 against Abimelech concerning a well49 that Abimelech’s servants had seized.50 21:26 “I do not know who has done this thing,” Abimelech replied. “Moreover,51 you did not tell me. I did not hear about it until today.”

48	tn The Hebrew verb used here means “to argue; to dispute”; it can focus on the beginning of the dispute (as here), the dispute itself, or the resolution of a dispute (Isa 1:18). Apparently the complaint was lodged before the actual oath was taken.
49	tn Heb “concerning the matter of the well of water.”
50	tn The Hebrew verb used here means “to steal; to rob; to take violently.” The statement reflects Abraham’s perspective.
51	tn Heb “and also.”
