Genesis 26:23-33
23Then he wentH5927 up from thereH8033 to 1BeershebaH884. 24The LordH3068 2appearedH7200 to him the sameH1931 nightH3915 and saidH559, “3I am the GodH430 of your fatherH1 AbrahamH85; 4Do not fearH3372, for I am with you. I 5will blessH1288 you, and multiplyH7235 your 6descendantsH2233, For the sakeH5668 of My servantH5650 AbrahamH85.” 25So he builtH1129 an 7altarH4196 thereH8033 and calledH7121 upon the nameH8034 of the LordH3068, and pitchedH5186 his tentH168 thereH8033; and thereH8033 Isaac’sH3327 servantsH5650 dugH3738 a wellH875.
26Then 8AbimelechH40 cameH1980 to him from GerarH1642 9with his adviserH4828 AhuzzathH276 and PhicolH6369 the commanderH8269 of his armyH6635. 27IsaacH3327 saidH559 to them, “10WhyH4069 have you comeH935 to me, since you hateH8130 me and have sentH7971 me awayH7971 from you?” 28They saidH559, “We seeH7200 plainlyH7200 11that the LordH3068 has beenH1961 with you; so we saidH559, ‘Let there nowH4994 be an oathH423 betweenH996 us, even betweenH996 12you and us, and let us makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with you, 29that you will doH6213 us noH518 harmH7463, justH3512 as we have not touchedH5060 you 13and have doneH6213 to you nothingH7534 but goodH2896 and have sentH7971 you awayH7971 in peaceH7965. You are nowH6258 the 14blessedH1288 of the LordH3068.’” 30Then 15he madeH6213 them a feastH4960, and they ateH398 and drankH8354. 31In the morningH1242 they aroseH7925 earlyH7925 and 1617exchangedH7650 oathsH7650; then IsaacH3327 sentH7971 them awayH7971 and they departedH1980 from him in peaceH7965. 32Now 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.” 33So he calledH7121 it ShibahH7656; thereforeH5921H3651 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 is 18BeershebaH884 to thisH2088 dayH3117.
