20:14 Gr. didrachma.
BrLXX Ἔλαβε δὲ Ἀβιμέλεχ χίλια δίδραγμα, καὶ πρόβατα, καὶ μόσχους, καὶ παῖδας, καὶ παιδίσκας, καὶ ἔδωκε τῷ Ἁβραάμ· καὶ ἀπέδωκεν αὐτῷ Σάῤῥαν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ.
(Elabe de Abimeleⱪ ⱪilia didragma, kai probata, kai mosⱪous, kai paidas, kai paidiskas, kai edōke tōi Habraʼam; kai apedōken autōi Saῤɽan taʸn gunaika autou. )
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.
