1 And there was a famine <07458> in the land <0776>, beside <0905> the first <07223> famine <07458> that was in the days <03117> of Abraham <085>. And Isaac <03327> went <03212> (8799) unto Abimelech <040> king <04428> of the Philistines <06430> unto Gerar <01642>.
2 And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> (8735) unto him, and said <0559> (8799), Go not down <03381> (8799) into Egypt <04714>; dwell <07931> (8798) in the land <0776> which I shall tell <0559> (8799) thee of:
3 Sojourn <01481> (8798) in this land <0776>, and I will be with thee, and will bless <01288> (8762) thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed <02233>, I will give <05414> (8799) all these <0411> countries <0776>, and I will perform <06965> (8689) the oath <07621> which I sware <07650> (8738) unto Abraham <085> thy father <01>;
4 And I will make <07235> <00> thy seed <02233> to multiply <07235> (8689) as the stars <03556> of heaven <08064>, and will give <05414> (8804) unto thy seed <02233> all these <0411> countries <0776>; and in thy seed <02233> shall all the nations <01471> of the earth <0776> be blessed <01288> (8694);
5 Because <06118> that Abraham <085> obeyed <08085> (8804) my voice <06963>, and kept <08104> (8799) my charge <04931>, my commandments <04687>, my statutes <02708>, and my laws <08451>.
6 And Isaac <03327> dwelt <03427> (8799) in Gerar <01642>:
7 And the men <0582> of the place <04725> asked <07592> (8799) him of his wife <0802>; and he said <0559> (8799), She is my sister <0269>: for he feared <03372> (8804) to say <0559> (8800), She is my wife <0802>; lest, said he, the men <0582> of the place <04725> should kill <02026> (8799) me for Rebekah <07259>; because she was fair <02896> to look upon <04758>.
8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long <0748> (8804) time <03117>, that Abimelech <040> king <04428> of the Philistines <06430> looked out <08259> (8686) at <01157> a window <02474>, and saw <07200> (8799), and, behold, Isaac <03327> was sporting <06711> (8764) with Rebekah <07259> his wife <0802>.
9 And Abimelech <040> called <07121> (8799) Isaac <03327>, and said <0559> (8799), Behold, of a surety <0389> she is thy wife <0802>: and how saidst <0559> (8804) thou, She is my sister <0269>? And Isaac <03327> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Because I said <0559> (8804), Lest I die <04191> (8799) for her.
10 And Abimelech <040> said <0559> (8799), What is this thou hast done <06213> (8804) unto us? one <0259> of the people <05971> might lightly <04592> have lien <07901> (8804) with thy wife <0802>, and thou shouldest have brought <0935> (8689) guiltiness <0817> upon us.
11 And Abimelech <040> charged <06680> (8762) all his people <05971>, saying <0559> (8800), He that toucheth <05060> (8802) this man <0376> or his wife <0802> shall surely <04191> (8800) be put to death <04191> (8714).
12 Then Isaac <03327> sowed <02232> (8799) in that land <0776>, and received <04672> (8799) in the same year <08141> an hundredfold <03967> <08180>: and the LORD <03068> blessed <01288> (8762) him.
13 And the man <0376> waxed great <01431> (8799), and went <03212> (8799) forward <01980> (8800) , and grew <01432> until he became <01431> <00> very <03966> great <01431> (8804):
14 For he had possession <04735> of flocks <06629>, and possession <04735> of herds <01241>, and great store <07227> of servants <05657>: and the Philistines <06430> envied <07065> (8762) him.
15 For all the wells <0875> which his father#s <01> servants <05650> had digged <02658> (8804) in the days <03117> of Abraham <085> his father <01>, the Philistines <06430> had stopped <05640> (8765) them, and filled <04390> (8762) them with earth <06083>.
16 And Abimelech <040> said <0559> (8799) unto Isaac <03327>, Go <03212> (8798) from us; for thou art much <03966> mightier <06105> (8804) than we.
17 And Isaac <03327> departed <03212> (8799) thence, and pitched his tent <02583> (8799) in the valley <05158> of Gerar <01642>, and dwelt <03427> (8799) there <08033>.
18 And Isaac <03327> digged <02658> (8799) again <07725> (8799) the wells <0875> of water <04325> , which they had digged <02658> (8804) in the days <03117> of Abraham <085> his father <01>; for the Philistines <06430> had stopped <05640> (8762) them after <0310> the death <04194> of Abraham <085>: and he called <07121> (8799) their names <08034> after the names <08034> by which <0834> his father <01> had called <07121> (8804) them.
19 And Isaac#s <03327> servants <05650> digged <02658> (8799) in the valley <05158>, and found <04672> (8799) there a well <0875> of springing <02416> water <04325>.
20 And the herdmen <07462> (8802) of Gerar <01642> did strive <07378> (8799) with Isaac#s <03327> herdmen <07462> (8802), saying <0559> (8800), The water <04325> is ours: and he called <07121> (8799) the name <08034> of the well <0875> Esek <06230>; because they strove <06229> (8694) with him.
21 And they digged <02658> (8799) another <0312> well <0875>, and strove <07378> (8799) for that also: and he called <07121> (8799) the name of it <08034> Sitnah <07856>.
22 And he removed <06275> (8686) from thence, and digged <02658> (8799) another <0312> well <0875>; and for that they strove <07378> (8804) not: and he called <07121> (8799) the name of it <08034> Rehoboth <07344>; and he said <0559> (8799), For now <06258> the LORD <03068> hath made room <07337> (8689) for us, and we shall be fruitful <06509> (8804) in the land <0776>.
23 And he went up <05927> (8799) from thence to Beersheba <0884>.
24 And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> (8735) unto him the same night <03915>, and said <0559> (8799) , I am the God <0430> of Abraham <085> thy father <01>: fear <03372> (8799) not, for I am with <0854> thee, and will bless <01288> (8765) thee, and multiply <07235> (8689) thy seed <02233> for my servant <05650> Abraham#s <085> sake.
25 And he builded <01129> (8799) an altar <04196> there, and called <07121> (8799) upon the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>, and pitched <05186> (8799) his tent <0168> there: and there Isaac#s <03327> servants <05650> digged <03738> (8799) a well <0875>.
26 Then Abimelech <040> went <01980> (8804) to him from Gerar <01642>, and Ahuzzath <0276> one of his friends <04828>, and Phichol <06369> the chief captain <08269> of his army <06635>.
27 And Isaac <03327> said <0559> (8799) unto them, Wherefore <04069> come <0935> (8804) ye to me, seeing ye hate <08130> (8804) me, and have sent me away <07971> (8762) from you?
28 And they said <0559> (8799), We saw <07200> (8804) certainly <07200> (8800) that the LORD <03068> was with thee: and we said <0559> (8799), Let there be now an oath <0423> betwixt <0996> us, even betwixt <0996> us and thee, and let us make <03772> (8799) a covenant <01285> with thee;
29 That thou wilt do <06213> (8799) us no hurt <07451>, as we have not touched <05060> (8804) thee, and as we have done <06213> (8804) unto thee nothing but <07535> good <02896>, and have sent thee away <07971> (8762) in peace <07965> : thou art now <06258> the blessed <01288> (8803) of the LORD <03068>.
30 And he made <06213> (8799) them a feast <04960>, and they did eat <0398> (8799) and drink <08354> (8799).
31 And they rose up betimes <07925> (8686) in the morning <01242>, and sware <07650> (8735) one <0376> to another <0251>: and Isaac <03327> sent them away <07971> (8762), and they departed <03212> (8799) from him in peace <07965>.
32 And it came to pass the same day <03117>, that Isaac#s <03327> servants <05650> came <0935> (8799), and told <05046> (8686) him concerning <0182> the well <0875> which they had digged <02658> (8804), and said <0559> (8799) unto him, We have found <04672> (8804) water <04325>.
33 And he called <07121> (8799) it Shebah <07656>: therefore the name <08034> of the city <05892> is Beersheba <0884> unto this day <03117>.
34 And Esau <06215> was forty <0705> years <08141> old <01121> when he took <03947> (8799) to wife <0802> Judith <03067> the daughter <01323> of Beeri <0882> the Hittite <02850>, and Bashemath <01315> the daughter <01323> of Elon <0356> the Hittite <02850>:
35 Which were a grief <04786> of mind <07307> unto Isaac <03327> and to Rebekah <07259>.
