Chapter 26
And
there
was
a
famine
in
the
land,
beside
the
first
famine
that
was
in
the
days
of
Abraham.
And
Isaac
went
unto
Abimelech
king
of
the
Philistines
unto
Gerar.
2
And
the
Lord
appeared
unto
him,
and
said,
Go
not
down
into
Egypt;
dwell
in
the
land
which
I
shall
tell
thee
of:
3
Sojourn
in
this
land,
and
I
will
be
with
thee,
and
will
bless
thee;
for
unto
thee,
and
unto
thy
seed,
I
will
give
all
these
countries,
and
I
will
perform
the
oath
which
I
sware
unto
Abraham
thy
father;
4
And
I
will
make
thy
seed
to
multiply
as
the
stars
of
heaven,
and
will
give
unto
thy
seed
all
these
countries;
and
in
thy
seed
shall
all
the
nations
of
the
earth
be
blessed;
5
Because
that
Abraham
obeyed
my
voice,
and
kept
my
charge,
my
commandments,
my
statutes,
and
my
laws.
6
And
Isaac
dwelt
in
Gerar:
7
And
the
men
of
the
place
asked
him
of
his
wife;
and
he
said,
She
is
my
sister:
for
he
feared
to
say,
She
is
my
wife;
lest,
said
he,
the
men
of
the
place
should
kill
me
for
Rebekah;
because
she
was
fair
to
look
upon.
8
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
he
had
been
there
a
long
time,
that
Abimelech
king
of
the
Philistines
looked
out
at
a
window,
and
saw,
and,
behold,
Isaac
was
sporting
with
Rebekah
his
wife.
9
And
Abimelech
called
Isaac,
and
said,
Behold,
of
a
surety
she
is
thy
wife:
and
how
saidst
thou,
She
is
my
sister?
And
Isaac
said
unto
him,
Because
I
said,
Lest
I
die
for
her.
10
And
Abimelech
said,
What
is
this
thou
hast
done
unto
us?
one
of
the
people
might
lightly
have
lien
with
thy
wife,
and
thou
shouldest
have
brought
guiltiness
upon
us.
11
And
Abimelech
charged
all
his
people,
saying,
He
that
toucheth
this
man
or
his
wife
shall
surely
be
put
to
death.
12
Then
Isaac
sowed
in
that
land,
and
received
in
the
same
year
an
hundredfold:
and
the
Lord
blessed
him.
13
And
the
man
waxed
great,
and
went
forward,
and
grew
until
he
became
very
great:
14
For
he
had
possession
of
flocks,
and
possession
of
herds,
and
great
store
of
servants:
and
the
Philistines
envied
him.
15
For
all
the
wells
which
his
father’s
servants
had
digged
in
the
days
of
Abraham
his
father,
the
Philistines
had
stopped
them,
and
filled
them
with
earth.
16
And
Abimelech
said
unto
Isaac,
Go
from
us;
for
thou
art
much
mightier
than
we.
17
And
Isaac
departed
thence,
and
pitched
his
tent
in
the
valley
of
Gerar,
and
dwelt
there.
18
And
Isaac
digged
again
the
wells
of
water,
which
they
had
digged
in
the
days
of
Abraham
his
father;
for
the
Philistines
had
stopped
them
after
the
death
of
Abraham:
and
he
called
their
names
after
the
names
by
which
his
father
had
called
them.
19
And
Isaac’s
servants
digged
in
the
valley,
and
found
there
a
well
of
springing
water.
20
And
the
herdmen
of
Gerar
did
strive
with
Isaac’s
herdmen,
saying,
The
water
is
ours:
and
he
called
the
name
of
the
well
Esek;
because
they
strove
with
him.
21
And
they
digged
another
well,
and
strove
for
that
also:
and
he
called
the
name
of
it
Sitnah.
22
And
he
removed
from
thence,
and
digged
another
well;
and
for
that
they
strove
not:
and
he
called
the
name
of
it
Rehoboth;
and
he
said,
For
now
the
Lord
hath
made
room
for
us,
and
we
shall
be
fruitful
in
the
land.
23
And
he
went
up
from
thence
to
Beer-sheba.
24
And
the
Lord
appeared
unto
him
the
same
night,
and
said,
I
am
the
God
of
Abraham
thy
father:
fear
not,
for
I
am
with
thee,
and
will
bless
thee,
and
multiply
thy
seed
for
my
servant
Abraham’s
sake.
25
And
he
builded
an
altar
there,
and
called
upon
the
name
of
the
Lord,
and
pitched
his
tent
there:
and
there
Isaac’s
servants
digged
a
well.
26
Then
Abimelech
went
to
him
from
Gerar,
and
Ahuzzath
one
of
his
friends,
and
Phichol
the
chief
captain
of
his
army.
27
And
Isaac
said
unto
them,
Wherefore
come
ye
to
me,
seeing
ye
hate
me,
and
have
sent
me
away
from
you?
28
And
they
said,
We
saw
certainly
that
the
Lord
was
with
thee:
and
we
said,
Let
there
be
now
an
oath
betwixt
us,
even
betwixt
us
and
thee,
and
let
us
make
a
covenant
with
thee;
29
That
thou
wilt
do
us
no
hurt,
as
we
have
not
touched
thee,
and
as
we
have
done
unto
thee
nothing
but
good,
and
have
sent
thee
away
in
peace:
thou
art
now
the
blessed
of
the
Lord.
30
And
he
made
them
a
feast,
and
they
did
eat
and
drink.
31
And
they
rose
up
betimes
in
the
morning,
and
sware
one
to
another:
and
Isaac
sent
them
away,
and
they
departed
from
him
in
peace.
32
And
it
came
to
pass
the
same
day,
that
Isaac’s
servants
came,
and
told
him
concerning
the
well
which
they
had
digged,
and
said
unto
him,
We
have
found
water.
33
And
he
called
it
Shebah:
therefore
the
name
of
the
city
is
Beer-sheba
unto
this
day.
34
And
Esau
was
forty
years
old
when
he
took
to
wife
Judith
the
daughter
of
Beeri
the
Hittite,
and
Bashemath
the
daughter
of
Elon
the
Hittite:
35
Which
were
a
grief
of
mind
unto
Isaac
and
to
Rebekah.
