Genesis 26:1-11

1And there was a famineH7458 in the landH776, besidesH905 the firstH7223 famineH7458 that was in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH85. And IsaacH3327 wentH3212 to AbimelechH40 kingH4428 of the PhilistinesH6430 to GerarH1642. 2And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to him, and saidH559, Go not downH3381 into EgyptH4714; dwellH7931 in the landH776 which I shall tellH559 thee of: 3SojournH1481 in this landH776, and I will be with thee, and will blessH1288 thee; for to thee, and to thy seedH2233, I will giveH5414 all theseH411 countriesH776, and I will performH6965 the oathH7621 which I sworeH7650 to AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1; 4And I will makeH7235 thy seedH2233 to multiplyH7235 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and will giveH5414 to thy seedH2233 all theseH411 countriesH776; and in thy seedH2233 shall all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 be blessedH1288; 5BecauseH6118 that AbrahamH85 obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963, and keptH8104 my chargeH4931, my commandmentsH4687, my statutesH2708, and my lawsH8451.

6And IsaacH3327 dweltH3427 in GerarH1642: 7And the menH582 of the placeH4725 askedH7592 him of his wifeH802; and he saidH559, She is my sisterH269: for he fearedH3372 to sayH559, She is my wifeH802; lest, said he, the menH582 of the placeH4725 should killH2026 me for RebekahH7259; because she was fairH2896 to look uponH4758. 8And it came to pass, when he had been there a longH748 timeH3117, that AbimelechH40 kingH4428 of the PhilistinesH6430 looked outH8259 atH1157 a windowH2474, and sawH7200, and, behold, IsaacH3327 was sportingH6711 with RebekahH7259 his wifeH802. 9And AbimelechH40 calledH7121 IsaacH3327, and saidH559, Behold, surelyH389 she is thy wifeH802: and how saidstH559 thou, She is my sisterH269? And IsaacH3327 saidH559 to him, Because I saidH559, Lest I should dieH4191 on her account. 10And AbimelechH40 saidH559, What is this thou hast doneH6213 to us? oneH259 of the peopleH5971 might lightlyH4592 have lainH7901 with thy wifeH802, and thou wouldest have broughtH935 guiltinessH817 upon us. 11And AbimelechH40 chargedH6680 all his peopleH5971, sayingH559, He that touchethH5060 this manH376 or his wifeH802 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191.
