Genesis 26:1-22

1And there was a famineH7458 in the landH776, besideH413 the firstH7223 famineH7458 that was in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH85. And IsaacH3327 wentH413 unto AbimelechH40 kingH4428 of the PhilistinesH6430 unto GerarH1642.

2And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto him, and saidH559, GoH3381 notH408 downH3381 intoH413 EgyptH4714; dwellH7931 in the landH776 whichH834 I shall tellH559 thee of:

3sojourn in this landH776, and I will be with thee, and will blessH1288 thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seedH2233, I will giveH5414 allH3605 theseH411 landsH776, and I will establishH6965 the oathH7621 whichH834 I sware unto AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1;

4and I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and will giveH5414 unto thy seedH2233 allH3605 theseH411 landsH776; and in thy seedH2233 shall allH3605 the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 be blessedH1288;

5becauseH834 that AbrahamH85 obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963, and keptH8104 my chargeH4931, my commandmentsH4687, my statutesH2708, and my lawsH8451.

6And IsaacH3327 dweltH3427 in GerarH1642:

7and the menH376 of the placeH4725 askedH7592 him of his wifeH802; and he saidH559, SheH1931 is my sisterH269: for he fearedH3372 to sayH559, My wifeH802; lestH6435, saidH559 he, the menH376 of the placeH4725 should killH2026 meH5921 for RebekahH7259: becauseH3588 sheH1931 was fair to look uponH5921.

8And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when he had been there a longH3117 time, that AbimelechH40 kingH4428 of the PhilistinesH6430 lookedH7200 outH8259 at a windowH2474, and sawH7200, and, beholdH2009, IsaacH3327 was sporting with RebekahH7259 his wifeH802.

9And AbimelechH40 calledH7121 IsaacH3327, and saidH559, BeholdH2009, of a surety sheH1931 is thy wifeH802: and howH349 saidst thou, SheH1931 is my sisterH269? And IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto him, BecauseH3588 I saidH559, LestH6435 I dieH4191 for herH413.

10And AbimelechH40 saidH559, WhatH4100 is this thou hast doneH6213 unto usH5921? one of the peopleH5971 might lightly have lainH7901 with thy wifeH802, and thou shouldest have broughtH935 guiltiness uponH5921 usH5921.

11And AbimelechH40 chargedH6680 allH3605 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, He that toucheth this manH376 or his wifeH802 shall surelyH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191.

12And IsaacH3327 sowedH2232 in that landH776, and foundH4672 in the sameH1931 yearH8141 an hundredfold: and the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 him.

13And the manH376 waxed greatH1431, and grewH1431 moreH3966 and moreH3966 untilH5704 he becameH1431 veryH3966 greatH1431:

14and he had possessionsH4735 of flocksH6629, and possessionsH4735 of herdsH1241, and a greatH7227 householdH5657: and the PhilistinesH6430 enviedH7065 him.

15NowH3117 allH3605 the wellsH875 whichH834 his father’sH1 servantsH5650 had digged in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH85 his fatherH1, the PhilistinesH6430 had stoppedH5640 them, and filledH4390 them with earthH6083.

16And AbimelechH40 saidH559 unto IsaacH3327, Go from usH413; for thou art muchH3966 mightier thanH4480 weH3588.

17And IsaacH3327 departed thence, and encampedH2583 in the valleyH5158 of GerarH1642, and dweltH3427 there.

18And IsaacH3327 digged againH7725 the wellsH875 of waterH4325, whichH834 they had digged in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH85 his fatherH1; for the PhilistinesH6430 had stoppedH5640 them afterH310 the deathH4194 of AbrahamH85: and he calledH7121 their namesH8034 afterH310 the namesH8034 by whichH834 his fatherH1 had calledH7121 them.

19And Isaac’sH3327 servantsH5650 digged in the valleyH5158, and foundH4672 there a wellH875 of springing waterH4325.

20And the herdmen of GerarH1642 strove with Isaac’sH3327 herdmen, sayingH559, The waterH4325 is ours: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the wellH875 EsekH6230; becauseH3588 they contendedH7378 with him.

21And they digged anotherH312 wellH875, and they strove for that also: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it SitnahH7856.

22And he removed from thence, and digged anotherH312 wellH875; and for that they strove notH3808: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it RehobothH7344; and he saidH559, For nowH6258 the LORDH3068 hath madeH7337 roomH7337 for usH5921, and weH3588 shall be fruitfulH6509 in the landH776.
