To sojourn — the resident-stranger's verb, and his noun. Israel will be gerim in Egypt (15:13), Abraham holds the land only as 'sojournings' (17:8), the Sodom mob sneers 'this one came to sojourn' (19:9) — and Abraham sojourns (gur) in GERAR (20:1), a town that nearly rhymes with the word. → first discussed at Gen 15:13
