NETBible

For the Lord¹ had caused infertility to strike every woman² in the household of Abimelech because he took³ Sarah, Abraham’s wife.

NET Notes

¹tn In the Hebrew text the clause begins with “because.”

²tn Heb had completely closed up every womb.” In the Hebrew text infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.

²sn The Lord had closed up every womb. This fact indicates that Sarah was in Abimelech’s household for weeks or months before the dream revelation was given (20:6-7). No one in his household could have children after Sarah arrived on the scene.

³tn Heb “because of.” The words “he took” are supplied in the translation for clarity.
