as the waters cover the sea.

GE-26:1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first

famine that was

in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of

the Philistines

unto Gerar.

GE-26:2 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down

into Egypt;

dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:

GE-26:3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will

bless thee;

for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these

countries, and I will

perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;

GE-26:4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of

heaven, and will

give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall

all the nations

of the earth be blessed;

GE-26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my

charge, my

commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

GE-26:6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:

GE-26:7 And the men of the place asked [him] of his wife; and

he said, She

[is] my sister: for he feared to say, [She is] my wife; lest,

[said he], the

men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she [was]

fair to look

upon.

GE-26:8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time,

that

Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and

saw, and,

behold, Isaac [was] sporting with Rebekah his wife.

GE-26:9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a

surety she [is]

thy wife: and how saidst thou, She [is] my sister? And Isaac

said unto him,

Because I said, Lest I die for her.

GE-26:10 And Abimelech said, What [is] this thou hast done unto

us? one of

the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou

shouldest have

brought guiltiness upon us.

GE-26:11 And Abimelech charged all [his] people, saying, He

that toucheth

this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.

GE-26:12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the

same year an

hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.

GE-26:13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew

until he became

very great:

GE-26:14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of

herds, and great

store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.

GE-26:15 For all the wells which his father's servants had

digged in the days

of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and

filled them with

earth.

GE-26:16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou

art much

mightier than we.

GE-26:17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the

valley of

Gerar, and dwelt there.

GE-26:18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they

had digged in

the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped

them after the

death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by

which his

father had called them.

GE-26:19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found

there a well of

springing water.

GE-26:20 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's

herdmen, saying,

The water [is] ours: and he called the name of the well Esek;

because they

strove with him.

GE-26:21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also:

and he

called the name of it Sitnah.

GE-26:22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well;

and for that

they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he

said, For now

the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the

land.

GE-26:23 And he went up from thence to Beersheba.

GE-26:24 And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and

said, I [am] the

God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I [am] with thee, and

will bless

thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.

GE-26:25 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the

name of the LORD,

and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a

well.

GE-26:26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath

one of his

friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.

GE-26:27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me,

seeing ye hate

me, and have sent me away from you?

GE-26:28 And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with

thee: and we

said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, [even] betwixt us and

thee, and let

us make a covenant with thee;

GE-26:29 That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched

thee, and as we

have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in

peace: thou

[art] now the blessed of the LORD.

GE-26:30 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.

GE-26:31 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one

to another:

and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

GE-26:32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's

servants came, and

told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said

unto him, We have

found water.

GE-26:33 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the

city [is]

Beersheba unto this day.

GE-26:34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife

Judith the

daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of

Elon the Hittite:

GE-26:35 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
