Genesis 26:1-5

1And there wasH1961 a famineH7458 in the landH776, besides the firstH7223 famineH7458 that wasH1961 in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH85. And IsaacH3327 went unto AbimelechH40 kingH4428 of the PhilistinesH6430, unto GerarH1642.

2And Jehovah appearedH7200 unto him, and saidH559, GoH3381 not downH3381 into EgyptH4714; dwellH7931 in the landH776 which I shall tell thee of:

3sojourn in this landH776, and I will beH1961 with thee, and will blessH1288 thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seedH2233, I will giveH5414 all these landsH776, and I will establishH6965 the oathH7621 which I sware unto AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1;

4and I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and will giveH5414 unto thy seedH2233 all these landsH776; and in thy seedH2233 shall all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 be blessedH1288;

5because that AbrahamH85 obeyed my voiceH6963, and keptH8104 my chargeH4931, my commandmentsH4687, my statutesH2708, and my lawsH8451.
