Genesis 26

Isaac Settles in Gerar

1

Now there was  aa famineh7458 in the landh776, besidesh4480h905 the previoush7223 famineh7458 that had occurredh1961 in the daysh3117 of Abrahamh85. So Isaach3327 wenth1980 to Gerarh1642, to  bAbimelechh40 kingh4428 of the Philistinesh6430.

2

The LORDh3068  aappearedh7200 to him and saidh559, "Do not goh3381 downh3381 to Egypth4714;  1 bstayh7931 in the landh776 of whichh834 I shall tellh559 you.

3

"Sojournh1481a in thish2088 landh776 and  aI will be with you and  bblessh1288 you, for  cto you and to your  1descendantsh2233 I will giveh5414 allh3605 theseh411 landsh776, and I will establishh6965  dthe oathh7621 whichh834 I sworeh7650 to your fatherh1 Abrahamh85.

4

aI will multiplyh7235a your  1descendantsh2233 as the starsh3556 of heavenh8064, and will giveh5414 your  1descendantsh2233 allh3605 theseh411 landsh776; and  bby your  1descendantsh2233 allh3605 the nationsh1471 of the earthh776  2shall be blessedh1288;

5

becauseh6118h834 Abrahamh85  1 aobeyedh8085h6963 Me and kepth8104 My chargeh4931, My commandmentsh4687, My statutesh2708 and My lawsh8451."

6

So Isaach3327  1livedh3427 in Gerarh1642.

7

When the menh376 of the placeh4725 askedh7592 about his wifeh802, he saidh559, " aShe is my sisterh269," for he was  bafraidh3372a to sayh559, "my wifeh802," thinking,1the menh376 of the placeh4725 might killh2026 me on accounth5921 of Rebekahh7259, for she is  cbeautifulh2896a."

8

It cameh1961 about, whenh3588 he had been thereh8033 a longh748 timeh3117, that Abimelechh40 kingh4428 of the Philistinesh6430 lookedh8259 out throughh1157 a windowh2474, and sawh7200, and beholdh2009, Isaach3327 was caressingh6711 his wifeh802 Rebekahh7259.

9

Then Abimelechh40 calledh7121 Isaach3327 and saidh559, "Beholdh2009, certainlyh389 she is your wifeh802! Howh349 then did you sayh559, `She is my sisterh269'?" And Isaach3327 saidh559 to him, "Becauseh3588 I saidh559, `I mighth6435 dieh4191 on accounth5921 of her.' "

10

 aAbimelechh40 saidh559, "Whath4100 is thish2088 you have doneh6213a to us? Oneh259 of the peopleh5971a might easilyh4592 have lainh7901 with your wifeh802, and you would have broughth935 guilth817 upon us."

11

So Abimelechh40 chargedh6680 allh3605 the peopleh5971a, sayingh559, "He who  atouchesh5060 thish2088 manh376 or his wifeh802 shall surelyh4191 be puth4191 to deathh4191."

12

Now Isaach3327 sowedh2232 in that landh776 and  1reapedh4672 in the sameh1931 yearh8141 a hundredfoldh3967h8180. And  athe LORDh3068 blessedh1288 him,

13

and the manh376  abecameh1431 richh1431, and continuedh1980 to growh1432  1richerh1432 untilh5704 he becameh1431 veryh3966  1wealthyh1431;

14

for  ahe hadh1961 possessionsh4735 of flocksh6629  1and herdsh1241 and a greath7227a householdh5657, so that the Philistinesh6430 enviedh7065 him.

15

Now  aallh3605 the wellsh875 whichh834 his father'sh1 servantsh5650 had dugh2658 in the daysh3117 of Abrahamh85 his fatherh1, the Philistinesh6430 stoppedh5640 up  1by fillingh4390 them with earthh6083.

16

Then Abimelechh40 saidh559 to Isaach3327, "Goh1980 away from us, for you are  1 atooh3966 powerfulh6105a for us."

17

And Isaach3327 departedh1980 from thereh8033 and campedh2583 in the valleyh5158a of Gerarh1642, and  1settledh3427 thereh8033.

Quarrel over the Wells

18

Then Isaach3327 dugh2658 againh7725 the wellsh875 of waterh4325 whichh834  1had been dugh2658 in the daysh3117 of his fatherh1 Abrahamh85, for the Philistinesh6430 had stoppedh5640 them up afterh310 the deathh4194 of Abrahamh85; and he  2gaveh7121 them the sameh8034 namesh8034 whichh834 his fatherh1 had  3givenh7121 them.

19

But when Isaac'sh3327 servantsh5650 dugh2658 in the valleyh5158a and foundh4672 thereh8033 a wellh875 of  1flowingh2416a waterh4325,

20

the herdsmenh7462a of Gerarh1642  aquarreledh7378 with the herdsmenh7462a of Isaach3327, sayingh559, "The waterh4325 is ours!" So he namedh7121h8034 the wellh875  1Esekh6230, becauseh3588 they contendedh6229 with him.

21

Then they dugh2658 anotherh312 wellh875, and they quarreledh7378 overh5921 it tooh1571, so he namedh7121h8034 it  1Sitnahh7856.

22

He movedh6275 awayh6275 from thereh8033 and dugh2658 anotherh312 wellh875, and they did not quarrelh7378 overh5921 it; so he namedh7121h8034 it  1Rehobothh7344, for he saidh559, " 2 aAt lasth3588h6258 the LORDh3068 has madeh7337  3roomh7337 for us, and we will be  bfruitfulh6509 in the landh776."

23

Then he wenth5927 up from thereh8033 to  aBeershebah884.

24

The LORDh3068  aappearedh7200 to him the sameh1931 nighth3915 and saidh559, " bI am the Godh430 of your fatherh1 Abrahamh85;  cDo not fearh3372a, for I am with you. I  dwill blessh1288 you, and multiplyh7235a your  1descendantsh2233, For the sakeh5668 of My servanth5650 Abrahamh85."

25

So he builth1129 an  aaltarh4196 thereh8033 and calledh7121 upon the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068, and pitchedh5186 his tenth168 thereh8033; and thereh8033 Isaac'sh3327 servantsh5650 dugh3738a a wellh875.

Covenant with Abimelech

26

Then  aAbimelechh40 cameh1980 to him from Gerarh1642  1with his adviserh4828 Ahuzzathh276 and Phicolh6369 the commanderh8269 of his armyh6635.

27

Isaach3327 saidh559 to them, " aWhyh4069 have you comeh935 to me, since you hateh8130 me and have senth7971 me awayh7971 from you?"

28

They saidh559, "We seeh7200 plainlyh7200  athat the LORDh3068 has beenh1961 with you; so we saidh559, `Let there nowh4994 be an oathh423 betweenh996 us, even betweenh996  1you and us, and let us makeh3772 a covenanth1285 with you,

29

that you will doh6213a us noh518 harmh7463a, justh3512c as we have not touchedh5060 you  1and have doneh6213a to you nothingh7534 but goodh2896b and have senth7971 you awayh7971 in peaceh7965. You are nowh6258 the  ablessedh1288 of the LORDh3068.' "

30

Then  ahe madeh6213a them a feasth4960, and they ateh398 and drankh8354.

31

In the morningh1242 they aroseh7925 earlyh7925 and  1 aexchangedh7650 oathsh7650; then Isaach3327 senth7971 them awayh7971 and they departedh1980 from him in peaceh7965.

32

Now it cameh1961 about on the sameh1931 dayh3117, that Isaac'sh3327 servantsh5650 cameh935 in and toldh5046 him abouth5921h182 the wellh875 whichh834 they had dugh2658, and saidh559 to him, "We have foundh4672 waterh4325."

33

So he calledh7121 it Shibahh7656; thereforeh5921h3651 the nameh8034 of the cityh5892b is  aBeershebah884 to thish2088 dayh3117.

34

When Esauh6215 was fortyh705 yearsh8141 oldh1121  ahe  1marriedh3947h802 Judithh3067 the daughterh1323 of Beerih882 the Hittiteh2850, and Basemathh1315 the daughterh1323 of Elonh356 the Hittiteh2850;

35

and  athey  1broughth1961 griefh4786h7307 to Isaach3327 and Rebekahh7259.
