Genesis 26:1-35

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.

26:17

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>_.

26:18

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.

26:19

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>_.

{springing: Heb. living}

26:20

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. {Esek: that is, Contention}

26:21

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>_.

{Sitnah: that is, Hatred}

26:22

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>_.

{Rehoboth: that is Room}

26:23

And he went up
<05927> (8799)

from thence to Beersheba
<0884>_.

26:24

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.

26:25

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>_.

26:26

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>_.

26:27

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?

26:28

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; {We saw...: Heb. Seeing we saw}

26:29

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>_.

{That...: Heb. If thou shalt}

26:30

And he made
<06213> (8799)

them a feast
<04960>_,

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)_.

26:31

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>_.

26:32

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>_.

26:33

And he called
<07121> (8799)

it Shebah
<07656>_:

therefore the name
<08034>

of the city
<05892>

[is] Beersheba
<0884>

unto this day
<03117>_.

{Shebah: That is, an oath} {Beersheba: that is, the well of the oath}

26:34

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>_:

26:35

Which were a grief
<04786>

of mind
<07307>

unto Isaac
<03327>

and to Rebekah
<07259>_.

{a grief...: Heb. bitterness of spirit}

brought
<0857> (8689)

water
<04325>

to him
<07125> (8800)

that was thirsty
<06771>_,

they prevented
<06923> (8765)

with their bread

him that fled
