Kejadian 14:3

14:3 These last five kings ¹  joined forces ²  in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea). ³ 

Kejadian 21:25

21:25 But Abraham lodged a complaint ⁴  against Abimelech concerning a well ⁵  that Abimelech’s servants had seized. ⁶ 

[14:3]  ¹ tn Heb “all these,” referring only to the last five kings named. The referent has been specified as “these last five kings” in the translation for clarity.

[14:3]  ² tn The Hebrew verb used here means “to join together; to unite; to be allied.” It stresses close associations, especially of friendships, marriages, or treaties.

[14:3]  ³ sn The Salt Sea is the older name for the Dead Sea.

[21:25]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew verb used here means “to argue; to dispute”; it can focus on the beginning of the dispute (as here), the dispute itself, or the resolution of a dispute (Isa 1:18). Apparently the complaint was lodged before the actual oath was taken.

[21:25]  ⁵ tn Heb “concerning the matter of the well of water.”

[21:25]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew verb used here means “to steal; to rob; to take violently.” The statement reflects Abraham’s perspective.
