21:25But Abraham lodged a complaint48 against Abimelech concerning a well49 that Abimelech’s servants had seized.50
Footnotes
- 48 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 Heb “concerning the matter of the well of water.”
- 50 The Hebrew verb used here means “to steal; to rob; to take violently.” The statement reflects Abraham’s perspective.
