Genesis 21:34

And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.

Ver. 34. Many days.] Twenty-five years at least: for so old was Isaac when he went to be sacrificed. Some halcyons God vouchsafes to his "afflicted, and tossed with tempest"; Isa 54:11 some rest and repose to his poor pilgrims. Laus Deo .
