TSNTyndale Study Notes:

20:7 Abraham’s prayer saved the king’s life and restored his family (20:17-18). Abimelech learned that Abraham’s God was sovereign, and that Abraham, God’s prophet, had received God’s revelation and would intercede for others (see Num 12:13; Deut 9:20), even if he did not always live up to the office.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

הָשֵׁ֤ב אֵֽשֶׁת הָ⁠אִישׁ֙

return wife_of the=man

Alternate translation: “return her to her husband Abraham”

Note 1 topic: translate-key-terms

כִּֽי נָבִ֣יא ה֔וּא

that/for/because/then/when prophet he/it

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Also, a prophet is someone who speaks for someone else. In this case, Abraham serves as an intercessor and speaks for God and prays what God wants him to say (verses 7,17). Avoid a translation of this term that focuses on telling the future, which is only one of the things that a prophet might do. Alternate translation: “He is a prophet for me,”

וְ⁠יִתְפַּלֵּ֥ל בַּֽעַדְ⁠ךָ֖

and,pray for,you

Alternate translation: “so he will ask me to be kind to you,”

וֶֽ⁠חְיֵ֑ה

and,live

Alternate translation: “and I will let you live.”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וְ⁠אִם־אֵֽינְ⁠ךָ֣

and=if not,you

Alternate translation: “But if you will not”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

מֵשִׁ֗יב

return

Alternate translation: “give her back to him”

דַּ֚ע כִּי

know that/for/because/then/when

Alternate translation: “you need to know that” or “be aware that”

מ֣וֹת תָּמ֔וּת אַתָּ֖ה וְ⁠כָל אֲשֶׁר לָֽ⁠ךְ

to_die you(ms)_will_die you(ms) and=all which/who to/for=you(fs)

The phrase all who belong to you refers to King Abimelech’s people, whom he referred to in verse 4. Make sure that is clear in your translation. Alternate translation: “you and all your people will surely die!” or “I will surely kill you and all your people!”
