1
Now there was a
famine
in the land,
besides
the previous
famine
that had occurred
in the days
of Abraham.
So Isaac
went
to Gerar,
to Abimelech
king
of the Philistines.
2
The LORD
appeared
to him and said,
"Do not go down
to Egypt;
stay
in the land
of which
I shall tell
you.
3
"Sojourn
in this
land
and I will be with you and bless
you, for to you and to your descendants
I will give
all
these
land
s,
and I will establish
the oath
which
I swore
to your father
Abraham.
4
"I will multiply
your descendants
as the stars
of heaven,
and will give
your descendants
all
these
lands;
and by
your descendants
all
the nations
of the earth
sh
all
be blessed;
5
because
Abraham
obeyed
Me and kept
My charge,
My commandments,
My statutes
and My laws."
6
So Isaac
lived
in Gerar.
7
When the men
of the place
asked
about his wife,
he said,
"She is my sister,"
for he was afraid
to say,
"my wife,"
thinking, "the men
of the place
might kill
me on account
of Rebekah,
for she is beautiful."
8
It came
about, when
he had been there
a long
time,
that Abimelech
king
of the Philistines
looked
out through
a window,
and saw,
and behold,
Isaac
was caressing
his wife
Rebekah.
9
Then Abimelech
called
Isaac
and
said
,
"Behold,
certainly
she is your wife!
How
then did you say,
'She is my sister '?"
And
Isaac
said
to him, "Because
I
said
,
'I might
die
on account
of her.'"
10
Abimelech
said,
"What
is this
you have done
to us? One
of the people
might easily
have lain
with your wife,
and you would have brought
guilt
upon us."
11
So Abimelech
charged
all
the people,
saying,
"He who touches
this
man
or his wife
sh
all
surely
be put to death."
12
Now Isaac
sowed
in that land
and reaped
in the same
year
a hundredfold.
And the LORD
blessed
him,
13
and the man
became
rich,
and continued
to grow richer
until
he
became
very
wealthy;
14
for he had
possessions
of flocks
and herds
and a great
household,
so that the Philistines
envied
him.
15
Now all
the wells
which
his father's
servants
had dug
in the days
of Abraham
his father,
the Philistines
stopped
up by filling
them with earth.
16
Then Abimelech
said
to Isaac,
"Go
away from us, for you are too
powerful
for us."
17
And Isaac
departed
from there
and camped
in the valley
of Gerar,
and settled
there.
18
Then Isaac
dug
again
the wells
of water
which
had been
dug
in the days
of
his father
Abraham,
for the Philistines
had stopped
them up after
the death
of Abraham;
and he gave
them the same
names
which
his father
had given
them.
19
But when Isaac's
servants
dug
in the valley
and found
there
a well
of flowing
water,
20
the herdsmen
of Gerar
quarreled
with
the herdsmen
of Isaac,
saying,
"The water
is ours!" So he named
the well
Esek,
because
they contended
with him.
21
Then they dug
another
well,
and they quarreled
over
it too,
so he named
it Sitnah.
22
He moved away
from there
and dug
another
well,
and they did not quarrel
over
it; so he named
it Rehoboth,
for he said,
"At last
the LORD
has made room
for us, and we will be fruitful
in the land."
23
Then he went
up from there
to Beersheba.
24
The LORD
appeared
to him the same
night
and said,
"I am the God
of your father
Abraham;
Do not fear,
for I am with you. I will bless
you, and multiply
your descendants,
For the sake
of My servant
Abraham."
25
So he built
an altar
there
and called
upon the name
of the LORD,
and pitched
his tent
there
;
and
there
Isaac's
servants
dug
a well.
26
Then Abimelech
came
to him from Gerar
with his adviser
Ahuzzath
and Phicol
the commander
of his army.
27
Isaac
said
to them, "Why
have you come
to me, since you hate
me and have sent me away
from you?"
28
They said,
"We see
plainly
that the LORD
has been
with you; so we said,
'Let there now
be an oath
between
us, even
between
you and us, and let us make
a covenant
with you,
29
that you will do
us no
harm,
just
as we have not touched
you and have done
to you nothing
but good
and have sent you away
in peace.
You are now
the blessed
of the LORD.'"
30
Then he made
them a feast,
and they ate
and drank.
31
In the morning
they arose early
and exchanged oaths;
then Isaac
sent them away
and they departed
from him in peace.
32
Now it
came
about on the same
day,
that Isaac's
servants
came
in and told
him about
the well
which
they had dug,
and said
to him, "We have found
water."
33
So he called
it Shibah;
therefore
the name
of the city
is Beersheba
to this
day.
34
When Esau
was forty
years
old
he married
Judith
the daughter
of Beeri
the Hittite,
and Basemath
the daughter
of Elon
the Hittite;
35
and they brought
grief
to Isaac
and Rebekah.
