Gerar
a region; lodging-place, a very ancient town and district in the south border of Palestine, which was ruled over by a king named Abimelech [1Mos 10:19 ; 1Mos 20:1 ; 1Mos 20:2 ]. Abraham sojourned here, and perhaps Isaac was born in this place. Both of these patriarchs were guilty of the sin of here denying their wives, and both of them entered into a treaty with the king before they departed to Beersheba [1Mos 21:23 -34; 1Mos 26:1 etc.]. It seems to have been a rich pastoral country [2Krøn 14:12 -18]. Isaac here reaped an hundred-fold, and was blessed of God [1Mos 26:12 ]. The "valley of Gerar" [1Mos 26:17 ] was probably the modern Wady el-Jerdr.
