- 1. 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
- 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
- 20. And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac
- 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 Beersheba.
- 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
- 25. And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac
- 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
- 33. And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba 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.
