Book 01 : GENESIS - Chapter 026
026:001
And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into
Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of
026:002
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
026:003
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
026:004
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my
commandments, my statutes, and my laws
026:005
And Isaac dwelt in Gerar
026:006
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
026:007
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
026:008
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
026:009
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
026:010
And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth
this man or his wife shall surely be put to death
026:011
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year
an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him
026:012
And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he
became very great
026:013
For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and
great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him
026:014
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
026:015
And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much
mightier than we
026:016
And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley
of Gerar, and dwelt there
026:017
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
026:018
And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a
well of springing water
026:019
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
026:020
And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he
called the name of it Sitnah
026:021
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
026:022
And he went up from thence to Beersheba
026:023
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
026:024
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
026:025
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his
friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army
026:026
And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye
hate me, and have sent me away from you
026:027
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
026:028
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
026:029
And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink
026:030
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
026:031
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
026:032
And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is
Beersheba unto this day
026:033
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
026:034
Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah
