	Plymouth Brethren: Isaac at Gerar (Genesis 26) - Mark Kolchin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Isaac's sojourn into Gerar is instructive in that it demonstrates that there is a major difference between the blessing of the LORD and the approval of the Lord.
		His experience in Gerar is but a memory and the reality of his faith is witnessed as we see him communing with the LORD in the place of blessing.
		Away from the distractions of Gerar he was richer in faith and possessed a far greater influence for God--the result of a consecrated and separated life.

		Gerar should only be a place of your sojourning, not of your dwelling or abiding.
		Gerar is a "dragging away." The environment in Gerar will attempt to drag you away from the Lord.
		Gerar means "ruminating." This is the only positive meaning of "Gerar." To ruminate is to redigest, and it implies spending time with the Lord in His presence.

		Gerar mopes a lot because a boa is not the ideal Vessel for slaughtering hordes of demons in, and instead goes upstairs and watches the approach.
		Gerar gets beaten up and flung skidding down the stairs at the explosion, and the demon is shattered, but little bits of flesh begin swarming back into him like bees.
		Gerar staggers to his feet and struggles with the creature, managing to keep its hands severed so that it cannot get through the hole in the wall.

		GERAR - ge'-rar (gerar, "circle," "region"; Gerara): A town in the Philistine plain South of Gaza (Gen 10:19), where both Abraham and Isaac ' sojourned for a time, and where they came into contact with Abimelech, king of Gerar (Gen 20 and 26, passim).
		Gerar was known in the first 5 centuries AD, when it was the seat of a bishopric, and its bishop, Marcian, attended the Council of Chalcedon 451 AD, It was also the seat of a monastery.
		The statements in Gen indicate that Gerar belonged to the Philistines, and we are led to infer that Abimelech was king of that people, but it is quite certain that they did not occupy this region until after the time of Abraham, in fact only a short time before the Exodus.

		We are told that Isaac obliged him by moving to the wadi of Gerar, where he re-excavated the wells of his father.
		To no avail, the shepherds from Gerar fought with Isaac's shepherds over the water and Isaac was forced to move on.
		Thus, Luntshitz notes that in the case of Esek, the first well, the feud is specifically between the herdsmen of Gerar and Isaac; that is, flawed leadership on both sides was unable to resolve the conflict.

	Bible Study - Gerar
		Gerar was an ancient town in the Negev, in the south of the land of Israel, roughly half-way between Beersheba and Gaza (see Bible Places).
		Both Abraham and Isaac (who was born in the area) made a treaty with the king of Gerar, after separate incidents in which both claimed that their wives were their sisters, in order to keep from bring killed.
		To keep from being killed, Abraham told the king of Gerar that Sarah was his sister (which, technically, she actually was):

		Upon his arrival in the Philistine city of Gerar, Avraham and Sara disguise as brother and sister, and the king, Avimelekh, abducts Sara.
		The Malbim claims that the city of Gerar had legislation and a strict and fair legal code (as opposed to the recently destroyed city of Sedom, which, according to many, was thoroughly unethical even at the legislative and legal level).
		Avraham therefore could not trust the populace or government of Gerar, and was concerned that they would kill him in order to abduct his wife.

		Finally, Abraham s son Isaac also entered Gerar, and when he realized that the local men had noticed his wife Rebekah, he, like his father, told them that she was his sister.
		Because Sarah was actually a wife, and to take her was forbidden, the people of Gerar were punished in that all the women were suddenly unable to conceive.
		Abraham s journey into Egypt and Gerar represents the time in the Lord s life when He was seeking to learn many things about the world, and particularly about the doctrine of charity and faith.

	Chapter 20
		For the more abundantly the Lord had manifested his grace towards him, the more necessary was it, in return, for his patience to be exercised, in order that he might reflect upon his conditions as a pilgrim upon earth.
		When Moses previously relates, that she was taken away by Pharaoh, he does not say whether her chastity was assailed or not; but since the Lord then also declared himself the vindicator of her whom he now saved from dishonor, we ought not to doubt that her integrity was preserved both times.
		For as the Lord does not here send the king of Gerar to Noah, or to any one of the dead fathers, but into the presence of the living Abraham; so the only precept we have on this subject is, that, by mutually praying for each other, we should cultivate charity among ourselves.

	God’s Dealings With Isaac (Genesis 25.19b -27.46) - The Book of Genesis - A Commentary
		The family tribe over which he presided continued to be strong (26.16) and he clashed with Abimelech at Gerar but that is almost all we know about him apart from the birth of his children and his part in the continuation of the chosen line.
		So instead he moves to Gerar, where Abraham had prospered, knowing that there were sources of water to be found there to which he had some entitlement (21.27-33).
		It is probable that Abimelech was a throne name taken by all the kings who ruled over the Philistine conclave at Gerar (compare introduction to Psalm 34) which was probably a large trading post of not too great strength, as shown by the fact that they were continually wary of Abraham and Isaac.

		G-d instructs Isaac not to follow his father's footsteps and go to Egypt to relieve the famine, but rather to remain in the land of Canaan, so that the promise that Isaac will inherit the land of Canaan will be fulfilled.
		Our rabbis have much difficulty not only with the fact that our patriarchs engage in "deception," by stating that their wives are their sisters, but also with the effects of the deception which results in endangering the women.

		When a famine arose in Canaan, Isaac was driven south to dwell in the land of Gerar.
		This made the Philistines of Gerar envious, and their king, Abimelech, asked Isaac to move elsewhere.
		This brought strife with the herdsmen of Gerar who apparently did not want any more of the south country to be claimed by Isaac.

		These characters are accepted as historical primarily because they refer to elements in their story which seemed historical.
		Archeological excavation at Gerar (now identified as Tel Haror northwest of Beersheba) shows that it was no more than a "small, quite insignificant" village during the initial settlement of the Philistines during the Iron Age I (1150-900 BCE).
		The story of Isaac meeting the Philistine king in Gerar for instance could not have happened because there was simply no Philistine settlement in Canaan during that time and Gerar has not yet existed.
