1 Abraham war alt und wohl betaget, und der HERR hatte ihn gesegnet allenthalben.

3136. 'And behold, he was standing with the camels' means presence in general facts. This is clear from the meaning of 'standing with' as being present, and from the meaning of 'the camels' as general facts, dealt with in 3048, 3071.

Martyr

  

'A martyr' signifies a confession of the truth which is the same as 'witness.'
