Genesis 26:1 (NASB) New American Standard Bible

1 There was a famine in the land (distinct from the earlier one that had occurred in the days of Abraham), and Isaac went down to Abimelech, king of the Philistines in Gerar.
2 The LORD appeared to him and said: "Do not go down to Egypt, but continue to camp wherever in this land I tell you.
3 Stay in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I will give all these lands, in fulfillment of the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.
4 I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and give them all these lands, and in your descendants all the nations of the earth shall find blessing--
5 this because Abraham obeyed me, keeping my mandate (my commandments, my ordinances, and my instructions)."
6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.
7 When the men of the place asked questions about his wife, he answered, "She is my sister." He was afraid, if he called her his wife, the men of the place would kill him on account of Rebekah, since she was very beautiful.
8 But when he had been there for a long time, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, happened to look out of a window and was surprised to see Isaac fondling his wife Rebekah.
9 He called for Isaac and said: "She must certainly be your wife! How could you have said, 'She is my sister'?" Isaac replied, "I thought I might lose my life on her account."
10 "How could you do this to us!" exclaimed Abimelech. "It would have taken very little for one of the men to lie with your wife, and you would have thus brought guilt upon us!"
11 Abimelech therefore gave this warning to all his men: "Anyone who molests this man or his wife shall forthwith be put to death."
12 Isaac sowed a crop in that region and reaped a hundredfold the same year. Since the LORD blessed him,
13 he became richer and richer all the time, until he was very wealthy indeed.
14 He acquired such flocks and herds, and so many work animals, that the Philistines became envious of him.
15 (The Philistines had stopped up and filled with dirt all the wells that his father's servants had dug back in the days of his father Abraham.)
16 So Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go away from us; you have become far too numerous for us."
17 Isaac left there and made the Wadi Gerar his regular campsite.
18 (Isaac reopened the wells which his father's servants had dug back in the days of his father Abraham and which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham's death; he gave them the same names that his father had given them.)
19 But when Isaac's servants dug in the wadi and reached spring water in their well,
20 the shepherds of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's servants, saying, "The water belongs to us!" So the well was called Esek, because they had challenged him there.
21 Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that one too; so it was called Sitnah.
22 When he had moved on from there, he dug still another well; but over this one they did not quarrel. It was called Rehoboth, because he said, "The LORD has now given us ample room, and we shall flourish in the land."
23 From there Isaac went up to Beer-sheba.
24 The same night the LORD appeared to him and said: "I am the God of your father Abraham. You have no need to fear, since 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 invoked the LORD by name. After he had pitched his tent there, his servants began to dig a well nearby.
26 Abimelech had meanwhile come to him from Gerar, accompanied by Ahuzzath, his councilor, and Phicol, the general of his army.
27 Isaac asked them, "Why have you come to me, seeing that you hate me and have driven me away from you?"
28 They answered: "We are convinced that the LORD is with you, so we propose that there be a sworn agreement between our two sides-- between you and us. Let us make a pact with you:
29 you shall not act unkindly toward us, just as we have not molested you, but have always acted kindly toward you and have let you depart in peace. Henceforth, 'The LORD'S blessing be upon you!'"
30 Isaac then made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
31 Early the next morning they exchanged oaths. Then Isaac bade them farewell, and they departed from him in peace.
32 That same day Isaac's servants came and brought him news about the well they had been digging; they told him, "We have reached water!"
33 He called it Shibah; hence the name of the city, Beer-sheba, to this day.
34 When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, daughter of Elon the Hivite.
35 But they became a source of embitterment to Isaac and Rebekah.
1 And there was H1961 W-VQY3MS a famine H7458 NMS in the land H776 B-NFS , beside H905 ML-NMS the first H7223 famine H7458 D-NMS that H834 RPRO was H1961 VQQ3MS in the days H3117 B-CMP of Abraham H85 . And Isaac H3327 went H1980 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Abimelech H40 king H4428 NMS of the Philistines H6430 TMS unto Gerar H1642 .
2 And the LORD H3068 EDS appeared H7200 W-VNY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Go not down H3381 into Egypt H4714 TFS-3FS ; dwell H7931 in the land H776 B-NFS which H834 RPRO I shall tell H559 W-VQY3MS thee of H413 :
3 Sojourn H1481 in this H2063 D-DFS land H776 B-NFS , and I will be H1961 with H5973 PREP-2MS thee , and will bless H1288 thee ; for H3588 CONJ unto thee , and unto thy seed H2233 WL-CMS-2MS , I will give H5414 VQY1MS all H3605 NMS these H411 countries H776 , and I will perform H6965 the oath H7621 which H834 RPRO I swore H7650 unto Abraham H85 thy father H1 ;
4 And I will make thy seed H2233 CMS-2MS to multiply H7235 as the stars H3556 of heaven H8064 D-NMD , and will give H5414 unto thy seed H2233 L-CMS-2MS all H3605 NMS these H411 countries H776 ; and in thy seed H2233 shall all H3605 NMS the nations H1471 of the earth H776 D-GFS be blessed H1288 ;
5 Because H6118 that H834 RPRO Abraham H85 obeyed H8085 my voice H6963 , and kept H8104 my charge H4931 , my commandments H4687 , my statutes H2708 , and my laws H8451 .
6 And Isaac H3327 dwelt H3427 W-VQY3MS in Gerar H1642 :
7 And the men H376 CMP of the place H4725 D-NMS asked H7592 him of his wife H802 ; and he said H559 W-VQY3MS , She H1931 PPRO-3FS is my sister H269 CFS-1MS : for H3588 CONJ he feared H3372 VQQ3MS to say H559 W-VQY3MS , She is my wife H802 CFS-1MS ; lest H6435 CONJ , said he , the men H376 CMP of the place H4725 D-NMS should kill H2026 me for H5921 PREP Rebekah H7259 ; because H3588 CONJ she H1931 was fair H2896 to look upon H4758 NMS .
8 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when H3588 CONJ he had been there H8033 ADV a long H748 time H3117 D-NMP , that Abimelech H40 king H4428 NMS of the Philistines H6430 TMS looked out H8259 at H1157 PREP a window H2474 , and saw H7200 W-VIY3MS , and , behold H2009 IJEC , Isaac H3327 was sporting H6711 with Rebekah H7259 his wife H802 .
9 And Abimelech H40 called H7121 W-VQY3MS Isaac H3327 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Behold H2009 IJEC , of a surety H389 ADV she H1931 PPRO-3FS is thy wife H802 CFS-2MS : and how H349 W-IJEC saidst H559 W-VQY3MS thou , She H1931 PPRO-3FS is my sister H269 CFS-1MS ? And Isaac H3327 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Because H3588 CONJ I said H559 W-VQY3MS , Lest H6435 CONJ I die H4191 VQY1MS for H5921 her .
10 And Abimelech H40 said H559 W-VQY3MS , What H4100 IPRO is this H2063 DPRO-3FS thou hast done H6213 VQQ2MS unto us ? one H259 of the people H5971 might lightly H4592 K-AMS have lain H7901 VQQ3MS with H854 PREP thy wife H802 CFS-2MS , and thou shouldest have brought H935 guiltiness H817 upon H5921 PREP-1MP us .
11 And Abimelech H40 charged H6680 W-VPY3MS all H3605 NMS his people H5971 , saying H559 L-VQFC , He that toucheth H5060 this H2088 D-PMS man H376 or his wife H802 shall surely be put to death H4191 VQFA .
12 Then Isaac H3327 sowed H2232 in that H1931 D-PPRO-3FS land H776 B-NFS , and received H4672 W-VQY3MS in the same H1931 D-PPRO-3FS year H8141 a hundredfold H3967 MFS : and the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS blessed H1288 him .
13 And the man H376 D-NMS waxed great H1431 , and went H1980 W-VQY3MS forward H1980 VQFA , and grew H1432 until H5704 PREP he became very great H1431 VQQ3MS :
14 For he had H1961 W-VPY3MS possession H4735 CMS of flocks H6629 NMS , and possession H4735 of herds H1241 , and great store H7227 AFS of servants H5657 W-NFS : and the Philistines H6430 envied H7065 him .
15 For all H3605 W-CMS the wells H875 which H834 RPRO his father H1 CMS-3MS \'s servants H5650 had digged H2658 in the days H3117 B-CMP of Abraham H85 his father H1 CMS-3MS , the Philistines H6430 TMS had stopped H5640 them , and filled H4390 them with earth H6083 .
16 And Abimelech H40 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Isaac H3327 , Go H1980 VQI2MS from us ; for H3588 CONJ thou art much mightier H6105 than H4480 M-PREP-3MS we .
17 And Isaac H3327 departed H1980 W-VQY3MS thence H8033 M-ADV , and pitched his tent H2583 in the valley H5158 of Gerar H1642 , and dwelt H3427 W-VQY3MS there H8033 ADV .
18 And Isaac H3327 digged H2658 again H7725 the wells H875 of water H4325 D-CMS , which H834 RPRO they had digged H2658 in the days H3117 B-CMP of Abraham H85 his father H1 CMS-3MS ; for the Philistines H6430 TMS had stopped H5640 them after H310 PREP the death H4194 of Abraham H85 : and he called H7121 W-VQY3MS their names H8034 CFP after the names H8034 by which H834 RPRO his father H1 had called H7121 W-VQY3MS them .
19 And Isaac H3327 \'s servants H5650 digged H2658 in the valley H5158 , and found H4672 there H8033 ADV a well H875 of springing H2416 NMP water H4325 OMD .
20 And the herdsmen H7462 of Gerar H1642 did strive H7378 with H5973 PREP Isaac H3327 \'s herdsmen H7462 , saying H559 L-VQFC , The water H4325 D-OMD is ours : and he called H7121 W-VQY3MS the name H8034 of the well H875 Esek H6230 ; because H3588 CONJ they strove H6229 with H5973 PREP-3MS him .
21 And they digged H2658 another H312 well H875 , and strove H7378 for H5921 PREP-3FS that also H1571 CONJ : and he called H7121 W-VQY3MS the name H8034 CMS-3FS of it Sitnah H7856 .
22 And he removed H6275 W-VHY3MS from thence H8033 M-ADV , and digged H2658 another H312 well H875 ; and for H5921 PREP-3FS that they strove H7378 not H3808 W-NPAR : and he called H7121 W-VQY3MS the name H8034 CMS-3FS of it Rehoboth H7344 ; and he said H559 W-VQY3MS , For H3588 CONJ now H6258 ADV the LORD H3068 EDS hath made room H7337 for us , and we shall be fruitful H6509 in the land H776 B-GFS .
23 And he went up H5927 W-VHY3MS from thence H8033 M-ADV to Beer H884 - sheba .
24 And the LORD H3068 EDS appeared H7200 W-VNY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him the same H1931 D-PPRO-3MS night H3915 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , I H595 PPRO-1MS am the God H430 CDP of Abraham H85 thy father H1 NMS : fear H3372 not H408 NPAR , for H3588 CONJ I H595 PPRO-1MS am with H854 PART-2MS thee , and will bless H1288 thee , and multiply H7235 thy seed H2233 CMS-2MS for H5668 B-NMS my servant H5650 Abraham H85 \'s sake .
25 And he built H1129 W-VQY3MS an altar H4196 NMS there H8033 ADV , and called H7121 W-VQY3MS upon the name H8034 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , and pitched H5186 his tent H168 there H8033 ADV : and there H8033 ADV Isaac H3327 \'s servants H5650 digged H3738 a well H875 .
26 Then Abimelech H40 went H1980 VQQ3MS to H413 PREP-3MS him from Gerar H1642 , and Ahuzzath H276 one of his friends H4828 , and Phichol H6369 the chief captain H8269 of his army H6635 .
27 And Isaac H3327 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS them , Wherefore H4069 IPRO come H935 ye to H413 me , seeing ye H859 W-PPRO-2MP hate H8130 me , and have sent me away H7971 from H4480 you ?
28 And they said H559 W-VQY3MP , We saw certainly H7200 that H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS was H1961 VQQ3MS with H5973 PREP-2FS thee : and we said H559 , Let there be H1961 VQI3FS now H4994 IJEC an oath H423 between H996 us , even between H996 PREP-1MP us and thee , and let us make H3772 a covenant H1285 CFS with H5973 PREP-2FS thee ;
29 That H518 PART thou wilt do H6213 us no hurt H7451 AFS , as H834 K-RPRO we have not H3808 NADV touched H5060 thee , and as H834 we have done H6213 unto H5973 PREP-1MP thee nothing but H7535 ADV good H2896 AMS , and have sent thee away H7971 in peace H7965 : thou H859 PPRO-2MS art now H6258 ADV the blessed H1288 of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
30 And he made H6213 W-VQY3MS them a feast H4960 NMS , and they did eat H398 W-VQY3MP and drink H8354 .
31 And they rose up quickly H7925 in the morning H1242 , and swore H7650 one H376 NMS to another H251 : and Isaac H3327 sent them away H7971 , and they departed H1980 W-VQY3MP from him in peace H7965 .
32 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS the same H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS , that Isaac H3327 \'s servants H5650 came H935 W-VQY3MP , and told H5046 him concerning H5921 PREP the well H875 which H834 RPRO they had digged H2658 , and said H559 W-VQY3MP unto him , We have found H4672 VQQ1MP water H4325 NMP .
33 And he called H7121 W-VQY3MS it Shebah H7656 : therefore H3651 ADV the name H8034 CMS of the city H5892 D-GFS is Beer H884 - sheba unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS .
34 And Esau H6215 was H1961 W-VQY3MS forty H705 MMP years H8141 NFS old H1121 when he took H3947 W-VQY3MS to wife H802 NFS Judith H3067 the daughter H1323 CFS of Beeri H882 the Hittite H2850 , and Bashemath H1315 the daughter H1323 CFS of Elon H356 the Hittite H2850 :
35 Which were H1961 a grief H4786 of mind H7307 NFS unto Isaac H3327 and to Rebekah H7259 .
