Genesis 26:1 And there was a famine7458 in the land,776 beside905 the first7223 famine7458 that was in the days3117 of Abraham.85 And Isaac3327 went3212 unto Abimelech40 king4428 of the Philistines6430 unto Gerar.16422 And the LORD3068 appeared7200 unto him, and said,559 Go not down3381 into Egypt;4714 dwell7931 in the land776 which I shall tell559 thee of:
3 Sojourn1481 in this land,776 and I will be with thee, and will bless1288 thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed,2233 I will give5414 all these411 countries,776 and I will perform6965 the oath7621 which I sware7650 unto Abraham85 thy father;14 And I will make72352794 thy seed2233 to multiply7235 as the stars3556 of heaven,8064 and will give5414 unto thy seed2233 all these411 countries;776 and in thy seed2233 shall all the nations1471 of the earth776 be blessed;12885 Because6118 that Abraham85 obeyed8085 my voice,6963 and kept8104 my charge,4931 my commandments,4687 my statutes,2708 and my laws.8451
Genesis 26:6 And Isaac3327 dwelt3427 in Gerar:16427 And the men582 of the place4725 asked7592him of his wife;802 and he said,559 She is my sister:269 for he feared3372 to say,559Sheis my wife;802 lest, saidhe, the men582 of the place4725 should kill2026 me for Rebekah;7259 because she was fair2896 to look upon.47588 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long748 time,3117 that Abimelech40 king4428 of the Philistines6430 looked out8259 at1157 a window,2474 and saw,7200 and, behold, Isaac3327was sporting6711 with Rebekah7259 his wife.8029 And Abimelech40 called7121 Isaac,3327 and said,559 Behold, of a surety389 she is thy wife:802 and how saidst559 thou, She is my sister?269 And Isaac3327 said559 unto him, Because I said,559 Lest I die4191 for her.
10 And Abimelech40 said,559 What is this thou hast done6213 unto us? one259 of the people5971 might lightly4592 have lien7901 with thy wife,802 and thou shouldest have brought935 guiltiness817 upon us.
11 And Abimelech40 charged6680 all his people,5971 saying,559 He that toucheth5060 this man376 or his wife802 shall surely4191 be put to death.4191
Genesis 26:12 Then Isaac3327 sowed2232 in that land,776 and received4672{Heb. found} in the same year8141 an hundredfold:39678180 and the LORD3068 blessed1288 him.
13 And the man376 waxed great,1431 and went3212 forward,1980{Heb. went going} and grew1432 until he became14312794 very3966 great:143114 For he had possession4735 of flocks,6629 and possession4735 of herds,1241 and great store7227 of servants:5657{Or, husbandry} and the Philistines6430 envied7065 him.
15 For all the wells875 which his father's1 servants5650 had digged2658 in the days3117 of Abraham85 his father,1 the Philistines6430 had stopped5640 them, and filled4390 them with earth.608316 And Abimelech40 said559 unto Isaac,3327 Go3212 from us; for thou art much3966 mightier6105 than we.
Genesis 26:17 And Isaac3327 departed3212 thence, and pitched his tent2583 in the valley5158 of Gerar,1642 and dwelt3427 there.803318 And Isaac3327 digged2658 again7725 the wells875 of water,4325 which they had digged2658 in the days3117 of Abraham85 his father;1 for the Philistines6430 had stopped5640 them after310 the death4194 of Abraham:85 and he called7121 their names8034 after the names8034 by which834 his father1 had called7121 them.
19 And Isaac's3327 servants5650 digged2658 in the valley,5158 and found4672 there a well875 of springing2416{Heb. living} water.432520 And the herdmen7462 of Gerar1642 did strive7378 with Isaac's3327 herdmen,7462 saying,559 The water4325is ours: and he called7121 the name8034 of the well875 Esek;6230{that is, Contention} because they strove6229 with him.
21 And they digged2658 another312 well,875 and strove7378 for that also: and he called7121 the name of it8034 Sitnah.7856{that is, Hatred}22 And he removed6275 from thence, and digged2658 another312 well;875 and for that they strove7378 not: and he called7121 the name of it8034 Rehoboth;7344{That is, room} and he said,559 For now6258 the LORD3068 hath made room7337 for us, and we shall be fruitful6509 in the land.776
Genesis 26:23 And he went up5927 from thence to Beersheba.88424 And the LORD3068 appeared7200 unto him the same night,3915 and said,559 I am the God430 of Abraham85 thy father:1 fear3372 not, for I am with854 thee, and will bless1288 thee, and multiply7235 thy seed2233 for my servant5650 Abraham's85 sake.
25 And he builded1129 an altar4196 there, and called7121 upon the name8034 of the LORD,3068 and pitched5186 his tent168 there: and there Isaac's3327 servants5650 digged3738 a well.875
Genesis 26:26 Then Abimelech40 went1980 to him from Gerar,1642 and Ahuzzath276 one of his friends,4828 and Phichol6369 the chief captain8269 of his army.663527 And Isaac3327 said559 unto them, Wherefore4069 come935 ye to me, seeing ye hate8130 me, and have sent me away7971 from you?
28 And they said,559 We saw7200{Heb. seeing we saw} certainly7200 that the LORD3068 was with thee: and we said,559 Let there be now an oath423 betwixt996 us, even betwixt996 us and thee, and let us make3772 a covenant1285 with thee;
29 That thou wilt{Heb. if thou shalt etc.} do6213 us no hurt,7451 as we have not touched5060 thee, and as we have done6213 unto thee nothing but7535 good,2896 and have sent thee away7971 in peace:7965 thou art now6258 the blessed1288 of the LORD.306830 And he made6213 them a feast,4960 and they did eat398 and drink.835431 And they rose up betimes7925 in the morning,1242 and sware7650 one376 to another:251 and Isaac3327 sent them away,7971 and they departed3212 from him in peace.796532 And it came to pass the same day,3117 that Isaac's3327 servants5650 came,935 and told5046 him concerning182 the well875 which they had digged,2658 and said559 unto him, We have found4672 water.432533 And he called7121 it Shebah:7656{That is, an oath} therefore the name8034 of the city5892is Beersheba884{That is, the well of the oath} unto this day.3117
Genesis 26:34 And Esau6215 was forty705 years8141 old1121 when he took3947 to wife802 Judith3067 the daughter1323 of Beeri882 the Hittite,2850 and Bashemath1315 the daughter1323 of Elon356 the Hittite:285035 Which were a grief4786 of mind7307{Heb. bitterness of spirit} unto Isaac3327 and to Rebekah.7259
