  • Gen 26:1-9 : 1 Now there was a famine in the land, apart from the earlier famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Abimelech, the king of the Philistines, in Gerar. 2 The LORD appeared to him and said, "Do not go down to Egypt. Stay in the land that I will show you. 3 Stay in this land, and I will be with you and bless you. For I will give all these lands to you and your descendants and will fulfill the oath I swore to Abraham your father. 4 I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky and give them all these lands, and through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed. 5 This is because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My instructions. 6 So Isaac settled in Gerar. 7 When the people of that place asked him about his wife, he said, "She is my sister," because he was afraid to say, "She is my wife." He thought, "The men of this place might kill me because of Rebekah, for she is beautiful." 8 After Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looked out a window and saw Isaac caressing Rebekah, his wife. 9 So Abimelech summoned Isaac and said, "Surely, she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister'?" Isaac replied, "Because I thought I might be killed on account of her." 10 Then Abimelech said, "What have you done to us? One of the people could have easily slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us." 11 So Abimelech gave orders to all the people: "Whoever touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death." 12 Isaac sowed seed in that land, and in that same year he reaped a hundredfold, because the LORD blessed him. 13 The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy. 14 He had many flocks, herds, and servants, so the Philistines envied him. 15 The Philistines stopped up all the wells that his father’s servants had dug during the days of Abraham his father, filling them with dirt. 16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, "Leave us, for you have become much mightier than we are." 17 So Isaac departed from there, pitched his tent in the Valley of Gerar, and settled there. 18 Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham's death; he gave them the same names his father had given them. 19 Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of flowing water there. 20 But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen and said, "The water is ours!" So he named the well Esek, because they disputed with him. 21 Isaac’s servants then dug another well, but they also quarreled over it. So he named it Sitnah. 22 He moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over this one. So he named it Rehoboth, and he said, "Now the LORD has given us room, and we will flourish in the land." 23 From there Isaac went up to Beersheba. 24 That night the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham." 25 So Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD. He pitched his tent there, and his servants dug a well. 26 Meanwhile, Abimelech came to him from Gerar with his adviser Ahuzzath and Phicol the commander of his army. 27 Isaac asked them, "Why have you come to me, since you were hostile to me and sent me away?" 28 They replied, "We have clearly seen that the LORD has been with you. So we said, 'There should now be an oath between us and you; let us make a covenant with you.'" 29 "You must not harm us, just as we have not harmed you but have always treated you well and sent you away in peace. Now you are blessed by the LORD." 30 Then Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank. 31 They rose early in the morning and took an oath to one another. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they departed from him in peace. 32 That same day, Isaac's servants came and told him about the well they had dug, saying, "We have found water!" 33 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 They were a source of grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
