Genesis 26:1-16

26:1

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>_.

26:2

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:

26:3

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>_;

26:4

And I will make
<07235> (0)

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)_;

26:5

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>_.

26:6

And Isaac
<03327>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in Gerar
<01642>_:

26:7

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>_.

26:8

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>_.

26:9

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.

26:10

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.

26:11

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)_.

26:12

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. {received: Heb. found}

26:13

And the man
<0376>

waxed great
<01431> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

forward
<01980> (8800)_,

and grew
<01432>

until he became
<01431> (0)

very
<03966>

great
<01431> (8804)_:

{went...: Heb. went going}

26:14

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. {servants: or, husbandry}

26:15

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>_.

26:16

And Abimelech
<040>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Isaac
<03327>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

from us; for thou art much
<03966>

mightier
<06105> (8804)

than we.
