Genesis 21:34

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.

And Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur. And he sojourned in Gerar.

For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no abiding.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry. Keep not silent at my tears, for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

By faith he lived alien in the land of promise as a foreigner, having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the fellow heirs of the same promise.

Beloved, I beseech you as aliens and sojourners, to abstain from the fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.
