Abraham returned
The name "Abraham" is derived from the Hebrew "Avraham," meaning "father of many." This reflects God's promise to make Abraham the father of a multitude of nations (Genesis 17:5). The act of returning signifies completion and obedience. After the intense trial of faith on Mount Moriah, Abraham's return marks a moment of fulfillment and divine approval. It is a testament to his unwavering faith and trust in God's promises.

to his servants
The Hebrew word for "servants" is "na'ar," which can mean young men or attendants. These servants were likely witnesses to Abraham's faith journey, accompanying him to the point where he left them to ascend the mountain with Isaac. Their presence underscores the communal aspect of faith, where others are often witnesses to our spiritual journeys and the fulfillment of God's promises.

and they set out together
The phrase "set out together" indicates unity and shared purpose. In Hebrew, the concept of journeying together often implies a shared mission or destiny. This reflects the idea that Abraham's faith journey was not solitary; it involved those around him, symbolizing the collective journey of God's people towards His promises.

for Beersheba
Beersheba, meaning "well of the oath" or "well of seven," is a significant location in Abraham's life. It is where he made a covenant with Abimelech (Genesis 21:31) and represents a place of peace and divine provision. Returning to Beersheba symbolizes a return to a place of covenant and stability after the trial, highlighting God's faithfulness in providing for His people.

And Abraham lived
The Hebrew verb "lived" (yashab) implies dwelling or settling. It suggests a sense of permanence and rest. After the trial on Mount Moriah, Abraham's dwelling in Beersheba signifies a period of peace and fulfillment, where he can reflect on God's faithfulness and the promises yet to be fulfilled.

in Beersheba
Reiterating the significance of Beersheba, this phrase emphasizes the importance of place in the biblical narrative. Beersheba serves as a geographical and spiritual anchor for Abraham, a place where God's promises are remembered and celebrated. It is a reminder of the enduring nature of God's covenants and the peace that comes from living within His will.

Verse 19. - So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they role up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
