Tempat
Gerar
Sebuah wilayah; tempat persinggahan, sebuah kota dan distrik yang sangat kuno di perbatasan selatan Palestina, yang diperintah oleh seorang raja bernama Abimelekh (Kejadian 10:19; 20:1, 2). Abraham pernah tinggal di sini, dan mungkin Ishak dilahirkan di tempat ini. Kedua bapa leluhur ini bersalah atas dosa menyangkal istri mereka di sini, dan keduanya mengadakan perjanjian dengan sang raja sebelum mereka berangkat ke Bersyeba (Kejadian 21:23-34; 26). Wilayah ini tampaknya merupakan daerah penggembalaan yang kaya (2 Tawarikh 14:12-18). Ishak menuai seratus kali lipat di sini, dan diberkati Allah (Kejadian 26:12). “Lembah Gerar” (Kejadian 26:17) kemungkinan adalah Wadi el-Jerdr modern.
