Genesis 21:25

Context
21:25 But Abraham lodged a complaint 1  against Abimelech concerning a well 2  that Abimelech’s servants had seized. 3 

1 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.

2 tn Heb “concerning the matter of the well of water.”

3 tn The Hebrew verb used here means “to steal; to rob; to take violently.” The statement reflects Abraham’s perspective.
