And there was a famineH7458 in the land,H776 besideH905 the firstH7223 famineH7458 that was in the daysH3117 of Abraham.H85 And IsaacH3327 wentH3212 to AbimelechH40 kingH4428 of the PhilistinesH6430 to Gerar.H1642
2
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to him, and said,H559 GoH3381 not downH3381 into Egypt;H4714 dwellH7931 in the landH776 whichH834 I shall tellH559 you of:
3
SojournH1481 in thisH2063 land,H776 and I will be with you, and will blessH1288 you; for to you, and to your seed,H2233 I will giveH5414 allH3605 theseH411 countries,H776 and I will performH6965 the oathH7621 whichH834 I sworeH7650 to AbrahamH85 your father;H1
4
And I will make your seedH2233 to multiplyH7235 as the starsH3556 of heaven,H8064 and will giveH5414 to your seedH2233 allH3605 theseH411 countries;H776 and in your seedH2233 shall allH3605 the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 be blessed;H1288
5
BecauseH6118 that AbrahamH85 obeyedH8085 my voice,H6963 and keptH8104 my charge,H4931 my commandments,H4687 my statutes,H2708 and my laws.H8451
6
And IsaacH3327 dwelledH3427 in Gerar:H1642
7
And the menH582 of the placeH4725 askedH7592 him of his wife;H802 and he said,H559 She is my sister:H269 for he fearedH3372 to say,H559 She is my wife;H802 lest,H6435 saidH559 he, the menH582 of the placeH4725 should killH2026 me for Rebekah;H7259 becauseH3588 she was fairH2896 to lookH4758 on.
8
And it cameH1961 to pass, whenH3588 he had been thereH8033 a longH748 time,H3117 that AbimelechH40 kingH4428 of the PhilistinesH6430 lookedH8259 out atH1157 a window,H2474 and saw,H7200 and, behold,H2009 IsaacH3327 was sportingH6711 with RebekahH7259 his wife.H802
9
And AbimelechH40 calledH7121 Isaac,H3327 and said,H559 Behold,H2009 of a suretyH389 she is your wife;H802 and howH349 saidH559 you, She is my sister?H269 And IsaacH3327 saidH559 to him, BecauseH3588 I said,H559 LestH6435 I dieH4191 for her.
10
And AbimelechH40 said,H559 WhatH4100 is thisH2063 you have doneH6213 to us? oneH259 of the peopleH5971 might lightlyH4592 have lienH7901 with your wife,H802 and you should have broughtH935 guiltinessH817 on us.
11
And AbimelechH40 chargedH6680 allH3605 his people,H5971 saying,H559 He that touchesH5060 thisH2088 manH376 or his wifeH802 shall surely be put to death.H4191
12
Then IsaacH3327 sowedH2232 in that land,H776 and receivedH4672 in the sameH1931 yearH8141 an hundred times:H3967 H8180 and the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 him.
13
And the manH376 waxed great,H1431 and wentH3212 forward,H1980 and grewH1432 untilH5704 he becameH1431 veryH3966 great:H1431
14
For he had possessionH4735 of flocks,H6629 and possessionH4735 of herds,H1241 and greatH7227 store of servants:H5657 and the PhilistinesH6430 enviedH7065 him.
15
For allH3605 the wellsH875 whichH834 his father'sH1 servantsH5650 had digH2658 in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH85 his father,H1 the PhilistinesH6430 had stoppedH5640 them, and filledH4390 them with earth.H6083
16
And AbimelechH40 saidH559 to Isaac,H3327 GoH3212 from us; for you are muchH3966 mightierH6105 than we.
17
And IsaacH3327 departedH3212 there,H8033 and pitchedH2583 his tent in the valleyH5158 of Gerar,H1642 and dwelledH3427 there.H8033
18
And IsaacH3327 digH2658 againH7725 the wellsH875 of water,H4325 whichH834 they had digH2658 in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH85 his father;H1 for the PhilistinesH6430 had stoppedH5640 them afterH310 the deathH4194 of Abraham:H85 and he calledH7121 their namesH8034 after the namesH8034 by whichH834 his fatherH1 had calledH7121 them.
19
And Isaac'sH3327 servantsH5650 digH2658 in the valley,H5158 and foundH4672 thereH8033 a wellH875 of springingH2416 water.H4325
20
And the herdsmenH7462 of GerarH1642 did striveH7378 with Isaac'sH3327 herdsmen,H7462 saying,H559 The waterH4325 is ours: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the wellH875 Esek;H6230 becauseH3588 they stroveH6229 with him.
21
And they digH2658 anotherH312 well,H875 and stroveH7378 for that also:H1571 and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it Sitnah.H7856
22
And he removedH6275 from there,H8033 and digH2658 anotherH312 well;H875 and for that they stroveH7378 not: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it Rehoboth;H7344 and he said,H559 For nowH6258 the LORDH3068 has made roomH7337 for us, and we shall be fruitfulH6509 in the land.H776
23
And he wentH5927 up from thereH8033 to Beersheba.H884
24
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to him the sameH1931 night,H3915 and said,H559 I am the GodH430 of AbrahamH85 your father:H1 fearH3372 not, for I am with you, and will blessH1288 you, and multiplyH7235 your seedH2233 for my servantH5650 Abraham'sH85 sake.H5668
25
And he builtH1129 an altarH4196 there,H8033 and calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORD,H3068 and pitchedH5186 his tentH168 there:H8033 and thereH8033 Isaac'sH3327 servantsH5650 digH3738 a well.H875
26
Then AbimelechH40 wentH1980 to him from Gerar,H1642 and AhuzzathH276 one of his friends,H4828 and PhicholH6369 the chief captainH8269 of his army.H6635
27
And IsaacH3327 saidH559 to them, WhyH4069 comeH935 you to me, seeing you hateH8130 me, and have sentH7971 me away from you?
28
And they said,H559 We sawH7200 certainly that the LORDH3068 was with you: and we said,H559 Let there be nowH4994 an oathH423 betweenH996 us, even betweenH996 us and you, and let us makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with you;
29
That you will doH6213 us noH3808 hurt,H7451 as we have not touchedH5060 you, and as we have doneH6213 to you nothingH7535 but good,H2896 and have sentH7971 you away in peace:H7965 you are nowH6258 the blessedH1288 of the LORD.H3068
30
And he madeH6213 them a feast,H4960 and they did eatH398 and drink.H8354
31
And they roseH7925 up betimesH7925 in the morning,H1242 and sworeH7650 oneH376 to another:H251 and IsaacH3327 sentH7971 them away, and they departedH3212 from him in peace.H7965
32
And it cameH1961 to pass the same day,H3117 that Isaac'sH3327 servantsH5650 came,H935 and toldH5608 him concerningH5921 H182 the wellH875 whichH834 they had dig,H2658 and saidH559 to him, We have foundH4672 water.H4325
33
And he calledH7121 it Shebah:H7656 thereforeH5921 H3651 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 is BeershebaH884 to thisH2088 day.H3117
34
And EsauH6215 was fortyH705 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he tookH3947 to wifeH802 JudithH3067 the daughterH1323 of BeeriH882 the Hittite,H2850 and BashemathH1315 the daughterH1323 of ElonH356 the Hittite:H2850
35
Which were a griefH4786 of mindH7307 to IsaacH3327 and to Rebekah.H7259
