The Bible Says
创世记 20:16-18 含义

亚比米勒告诉撒拉: “我给了你哥哥一千块银子。”请注意,亚比米勒称亚伯拉罕为撒拉的哥哥,而不是她的丈夫。一千块银子在当时是一笔巨款(创世记 23:15-16,33:1,37:28)。 

辩护这个词的意思是遮住眼睛。它是为了掩盖罪行,为撒拉洗脱罪名。遮盖是通过支付对某人的冒犯来弥补的。比喻地说,人们的眼睛被遮住了,这样他们就看不到撒拉的耻辱。通过支付这笔钱,亚比米勒向所有人表明,他无意伤害或伤害撒拉和亚伯拉罕,他的行为是善意的。换句话说,国王正在偿还他与亚伯拉罕和撒拉的债务。

既然他的奉献是出于善意,那么任何人都没有理由批评或诋毁萨拉。这样,她在别人眼中就被免罪或赦免了,错误也得到了纠正。她的荣誉得到了恢复,表明她没有性行为不当。

亚伯拉罕向上帝祈祷 医治亚比米勒和他的家人。希伯来语“palal”是描述一般祈祷行为最常用的词。它的意思是为他人代求或调解(《民数记》11:2、21:7;《申命记》9:20,26;《撒母耳记上》7:5;《列王记上》13:6;《以斯拉记》10:1;《但以理书》9:4,20)。

亚伯拉罕为亚比米勒祷告,上帝医治了亚比米勒和他的妻子以及他的女仆,使她们生了孩子(第 18 节)。医治者是上帝,而不是亚伯拉罕。这些妇女恢复了生育能力,使她们生了孩子。 多子多福被认为是一种莫大的福气(创世记 17:20、22:12、26:24、28:3;撒母耳记上 2:20)。
上帝禁止亚比米勒家所有妇女生育,因为亚比米勒娶了撒拉。多子多孙被认为是上帝的祝福(申命记 30:9)。这可能是上帝所说的“不育家庭死亡”的惩罚的表现(第 3、7 节)。由于不育,他们的部落和遗产将消亡。下一章描述了上帝如何打开撒拉的子宫,以便她在年老时怀孕并生下应许的孩子。
