Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
Ahora júrame aquí delante de Dios que no me engañarás a mí, ni a mi hijo, ni a mi nieto. En cambio, muéstrame a mí y a esta tierra donde has vivido como extranjero la misma bondad que yo te he mostrado a ti.
Abimélec le pide a Abraham que jure tratarlo con la misma bondad que él le había mostrado.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This occurs after conflicts over water rights between Abraham's and Abimelech's servants, and after God had intervened to protect Sarah when Abimelech unknowingly took her. Abimelech, king of Gerar, recognized that God was blessing Abraham and wanted to secure a peaceful relationship. In ancient Near Eastern culture, such covenant-making was essential for maintaining peace between peoples sharing the same territory.
