Genesis 26:1-16

1Now there was 1a famineH7458 in the landH776, besidesH4480H905 the previousH7223 famineH7458 that had occurredH1961 in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH85. So IsaacH3327 wentH1980 to GerarH1642, to 2AbimelechH40 kingH4428 of the PhilistinesH6430. 2And the LordH3068 3appearedH7200 to him and saidH559, “Do not goH3381 downH3381 to EgyptH4714; 4stayH7931 in the landH776 of whichH834 I shall tellH559 you. 3LiveH1481 forH1481 aH1481 timeH1481 in thisH2088 landH776 and 5I will be with you and 6blessH1288 you, for 7to you and to your 8descendantsH2233 I will giveH5414 allH3605 theseH411 landsH776, and I will establishH6965 9the oathH7621 whichH834 I sworeH7650 to your fatherH1 AbrahamH85. 410I will multiplyH7235 your 11descendantsH2233 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and will giveH5414 your 12descendantsH2233 allH3605 theseH411 landsH776; and 13by your 14descendantsH2233 allH3605 the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 15shall be blessedH1288, 5becauseH6118H834 AbrahamH85 1617obeyedH8085H6963 Me and fulfilledH8104 his dutyH4931 to Me, and kept My commandmentsH4687, My statutesH2708, and My lawsH8451.”

6So IsaacH3327 livedH3427 in GerarH1642. 7When the menH376 of the placeH4725 askedH7592 about his wifeH802, he saidH559, “18She is my sisterH269,” for he wasH3372 19afraidH3372 to sayH559, “my wifeH802,” thinking, “20the menH376 of the placeH4725 might killH2026 me onH5921 accountH5921 ofH5921 RebekahH7259, sinceH3588 she is 21beautifulH2896.” 8Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961, whenH3588 he had been thereH8033 a longH748 timeH3117, that AbimelechH40 kingH4428 of the PhilistinesH6430 lookedH8259 downH8259 throughH1157 a windowH2474, and sawH7200 them, and beholdH2009, IsaacH3327 was caressingH6711 his wifeH802 RebekahH7259. 9Then AbimelechH40 calledH7121 IsaacH3327 and saidH559, “BeholdH2009, she certainlyH389 is your wifeH802! So howH349 is it that you saidH559, ‘She is my sisterH269’?” And IsaacH3327 saidH559 to him, “BecauseH3588 I thoughtH559, ‘otherwiseH6435 I mightH6435 be killedH4191 onH5921 accountH5921 ofH5921 her.’” 10And 22AbimelechH40 saidH559, “WhatH4100 is thisH2088 that you have doneH6213 to us? OneH259 of the peopleH5971 might easilyH4592 have sleptH7901 with your wifeH802, and you would have broughtH935 guiltH817 upon us.” 11So AbimelechH40 commandedH6680 allH3605 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, “He who 23touchesH5060 thisH2088 manH376 or his wifeH802 will certainlyH4191 be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191.”

12Now IsaacH3327 sowedH2232 in that landH776 and 24reapedH4672 in the sameH1931 yearH8141 a hundredH3967 timesH8180 as much. And 25the LordH3068 blessedH1288 him, 13and the manH376 26becameH1431 richH1431, and continuedH1980 to growH1432 27richerH1432 untilH5704 he becameH1431 veryH3966 28wealthyH1431; 14for 29he hadH1961 possessionsH4735 of flocksH6629 30and herdsH1241, and a greatH7227 householdH5657, so that the PhilistinesH6430 enviedH7065 him. 15Now 31allH3605 the wellsH875 whichH834 his father’sH1 servantsH5650 had dugH2658 in the daysH3117 of his fatherH1 AbrahamH85, the PhilistinesH6430 stoppedH5640 upH5640 32by fillingH4390 them with dirtH6083. 16Then AbimelechH40 saidH559 to IsaacH3327, “GoH1980 away from us, for you areH6105 3334tooH3966 powerfulH6105 for us.”
