Genesis 20:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 20:15

And Abimelech said, behold, my whole land [is] before thee,
&c.] Instead of bidding him be gone, and sending him away in haste out of his country, as the king of Egypt did in a like case, he solicits his stay in it; and to encourage him to it, makes an offer of his whole kingdom to him, to choose which part of it he would to dwell in: dwell where it pleaseth thee;
if there was anyone part of it better than another, or more convenient for him, his family and his flocks, he was welcome to it.

Genesis 20:15 In-Context

13 "God had me wander away from my father's house. So I said to her, 'Here is how you can show your love to me. Everywhere we go, say about me, "He's my brother." ' "
14 Then Abimelech gave Abraham sheep and cattle and male and female slaves. He also returned his wife Sarah to him.
15 Abimelech said, "Here is my land. Live anywhere you want to."
16 He said to Sarah, "I'm giving your brother 25 pounds of silver. It will take care of the problem we caused you. And all those who are with you will know that you aren't guilty of doing anything wrong."
17 Then Abraham prayed to God. And God healed Abimelech. He also healed his wife and his female slaves so they could have children again.
