A city in the Negeb where Abraham and Isaac each claimed their wives were sisters to protect themselves from the Philistine king Abimelech. Both patriarchs lived as foreigners near Gerar, dug wells there, and made covenants with its ruler. The city appears as a borderland between the promised land and Egypt, a place of testing and covenant-making.
