From ch. 10:19, it appears to have been situated in the angle where the south and west sides of Canaan met, and to have been not far from Gaza. Jerome, in his Hebrew Traditions on Genesis, says, from Gerar to Jerusalem was three days' journey. There was a wood near Gerar, spoken of by Theodoret; and a brook, (ch. 26:26,) on which was a monastery, noticed by Sozomen. 10:19; 26:1,6,20,26; 2Ch 14:13,14 said.12:11-13; 26:7; 2Ch 19:2; 20:37; 32:31; Pr 24:16; Ec 7:20; Ga 2:11,12Eph 4:25; Col 3:9Abimelech.12:15; 26:1,16 a dream.28:12; 31:24; 37:5,9; 40:8; 41:1-36; Job 4:12,13; 33:15; Mt 1:20Mt 2:12,13; 27:19a dead.7; Ps 105:14; Eze 33:14,15; Jon 3:4a man's wife.
