TSNTyndale Study Notes:

20:1-18 This second “sister story” in Genesis (cp. 12:10-20) occurred shortly before Sarah became pregnant with Isaac (ch 21). On both occasions, God protected Abraham and Sarah’s marriage in purity for the sake of the covenant promises. Participation in God’s plan requires separation from worldly corruption.
• This story took place in the Promised Land; it showed Israel how God intervened in people’s lives to fulfill his plan, how God continued to protect them against threats from other tribes, and how God used his chosen people to mediate his relationship with the nations.
• God’s preventing the destruction of Abraham’s marriage by adultery reminded the Israelites to keep their marriages morally and racially pure (Ezra 9:1-4; Neh 13:23-27; Mal 2:10-17); they should not allow any opportunity for temptation (Exod 20:14, 17; Lev 20:10; 21:13-15). Adultery would eventually destroy the covenant and the covenant people.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יֹּ֥אמֶר אֲבִימֶ֖לֶךְ אֶל אַבְרָהָ֑ם

and=he/it_said ʼAⱱīmelek to/towards ʼAⱱrāhām

For some languages it is more natural here to omit this quote margin, because the same person is still talking to the same person. However, the words emphasize what King Abimelech says next and may indicate that there was a pause between what he said in verse 9 and in verse 10. Do what is best in your language.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מָ֣ה רָאִ֔יתָ כִּ֥י עָשִׂ֖יתָ

what thinking that/for/because/then/when you(ms)_have_done/made

Alternate translation: “What did you expect to benefit from doing” or “What were your reasons for doing”

אֶת הַ⁠דָּבָ֥ר הַ⁠זֶּֽה

DOM the,thing the,this

Alternate translation: “this terrible thing?”
