26:1 And there was a famine 7458 in the land 776, beside 905 the first 7223 famine 7458 that was in the days 3117 of Abraham 85. And Isaac 3327 went 3212 8799 unto Abimelech 40 king 4428 of the Philistines 6430 unto Gerar 1642.

26:2 And the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 8735 unto him, and said 559 8799, Go not down 3381 8799 into Egypt 4714; dwell 7931 8798 in the land 776 which I shall tell 559 8799 thee of:

26:3 Sojourn 1481 8798 in this land 776, and I will be with thee, and will bless 1288 8762 thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed 2233, I will give 5414 8799 all these 411 countries 776, and I will perform 6965 8689 the oath 7621 which I sware 7650 8738 unto Abraham 85 thy father 1;

26:4 And I will make 7235 0 thy seed 2233 to multiply 7235 8689 as the stars 3556 of heaven 8064, and will give 5414 8804 unto thy seed 2233 all these 411 countries 776; and in thy seed 2233 shall all the nations 1471 of the earth 776 be blessed 1288 8694;

26:5 Because 6118 that Abraham 85 obeyed 8085 8804 my voice 6963, and kept 8104 8799 my charge 4931, my commandments 4687, my statutes 2708, and my laws 8451.

26:6 And Isaac 3327 dwelt 3427 8799 in Gerar 1642:

26:7 And the men 582 of the place 4725 asked 7592 8799 [him] of his wife 802; and he said 559 8799, She [is] my sister 269: for he feared 3372 8804 to say 559 8800, [She is] my wife 802; lest, [said he], the men 582 of the place 4725 should kill 2026 8799 me for Rebekah 7259; because she [was] fair 2896 to look upon 4758.

26:8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long 748 8804 time 3117, that Abimelech 40 king 4428 of the Philistines 6430 looked out 8259 8686 at 1157 a window 2474, and saw 7200 8799, and, behold, Isaac 3327 [was] sporting 6711 8764 with Rebekah 7259 his wife 802.

26:9 And Abimelech 40 called 7121 8799 Isaac 3327, and said 559 8799, Behold, of a surety 389 she [is] thy wife 802: and how saidst 559 8804 thou, She [is] my sister 269? And Isaac 3327 said 559 8799 unto him, Because I said 559 8804, Lest I die 4191 8799 for her.

26:10 And Abimelech 40 said 559 8799, What [is] this thou hast done 6213 8804 unto us? one 259 of the people 5971 might lightly 4592 have lien 7901 8804 with thy wife 802, and thou shouldest have brought 935 8689 guiltiness 817 upon us.

26:11 And Abimelech 40 charged 6680 8762 all [his] people 5971, saying 559 8800, He that toucheth 5060 8802 this man 376 or his wife 802 shall surely 4191 8800 be put to death 4191 8714.

26:12 Then Isaac 3327 sowed 2232 8799 in that land 776, and received 4672 8799 in the same year 8141 an hundredfold 3967 8180: and the LORD 3068 blessed 1288 8762 him.(received: Heb. found)

26:13 And the man 376 waxed great 1431 8799, and went 3212 8799 forward 1980 8800, and grew 1432 until he became 1431 0 very 3966 great 1431 8804:(went…: Heb. went going)

26:14 For he had possession 4735 of flocks 6629, and possession 4735 of herds 1241, and great store 7227 of servants 5657: and the Philistines 6430 envied 7065 8762 him.(servants: or, husbandry)

26:15 For all the wells 875 which his father's 1 servants 5650 had digged 2658 8804 in the days 3117 of Abraham 85 his father 1, the Philistines 6430 had stopped 5640 8765 them, and filled 4390 8762 them with earth 6083.

26:16 And Abimelech 40 said 559 8799 unto Isaac 3327, Go 3212 8798 from us; for thou art much 3966 mightier 6105 8804 than we.

26:17 And Isaac 3327 departed 3212 8799 thence, and pitched his tent 2583 8799 in the valley 5158 of Gerar 1642, and dwelt 3427 8799 there 8033.

26:18 And Isaac 3327 digged 2658 8799 again 7725 8799 the wells 875 of water 4325, which they had digged 2658 8804 in the days 3117 of Abraham 85 his father 1; for the Philistines 6430 had stopped 5640 8762 them after 310 the death 4194 of Abraham 85: and he called 7121 8799 their names 8034 after the names 8034 by which 834 his father 1 had called 7121 8804 them.

26:19 And Isaac's 3327 servants 5650 digged 2658 8799 in the valley 5158, and found 4672 8799 there a well 875 of springing 2416 water 4325.(springing: Heb. living)

26:20 And the herdmen 7462 8802 of Gerar 1642 did strive 7378 8799 with Isaac's 3327 herdmen 7462 8802, saying 559 8800, The water 4325 [is] ours: and he called 7121 8799 the name 8034 of the well 875 Esek 6230; because they strove 6229 8694 with him.(Esek: that is, Contention)

26:21 And they digged 2658 8799 another 312 well 875, and strove 7378 8799 for that also: and he called 7121 8799 the name of it 8034 Sitnah 7856.(Sitnah: that is, Hatred)

26:22 And he removed 6275 8686 from thence, and digged 2658 8799 another 312 well 875; and for that they strove 7378 8804 not: and he called 7121 8799 the name of it 8034 Rehoboth 7344; and he said 559 8799, For now 6258 the LORD 3068 hath made room 7337 8689 for us, and we shall be fruitful 6509 8804 in the land 776.(Rehoboth: that is Room)

26:23 And he went up 5927 8799 from thence to Beersheba 884.

26:24 And the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 8735 unto him the same night 3915, and said 559 8799, I [am] the God 430 of Abraham 85 thy father 1: fear 3372 8799 not, for I [am] with 854 thee, and will bless 1288 8765 thee, and multiply 7235 8689 thy seed 2233 for my servant 5650 Abraham's 85 sake.

26:25 And he builded 1129 8799 an altar 4196 there, and called 7121 8799 upon the name 8034 of the LORD 3068, and pitched 5186 8799 his tent 168 there: and there Isaac's 3327 servants 5650 digged 3738 8799 a well 875.

26:26 Then Abimelech 40 went 1980 8804 to him from Gerar 1642, and Ahuzzath 276 one of his friends 4828, and Phichol 6369 the chief captain 8269 of his army 6635.

26:27 And Isaac 3327 said 559 8799 unto them, Wherefore 4069 come 935 8804 ye to me, seeing ye hate 8130 8804 me, and have sent me away 7971 8762 from you?

26:28 And they said 559 8799, We saw 7200 8804 certainly 7200 8800 that the LORD 3068 was with thee: and we said 559 8799, Let there be now an oath 423 betwixt 996 us, [even] betwixt 996 us and thee, and let us make 3772 8799 a covenant 1285 with thee;(We saw…: Heb. Seeing we saw)

26:29 That thou wilt do 6213 8799 us no hurt 7451, as we have not touched 5060 8804 thee, and as we have done 6213 8804 unto thee nothing but 7535 good 2896, and have sent thee away 7971 8762 in peace 7965: thou [art] now 6258 the blessed 1288 8803 of the LORD 3068.(That…: Heb. If thou shalt)

26:30 And he made 6213 8799 them a feast 4960, and they did eat 398 8799 and drink 8354 8799.

26:31 And they rose up betimes 7925 8686 in the morning 1242, and sware 7650 8735 one 376 to another 251: and Isaac 3327 sent them away 7971 8762, and they departed 3212 8799 from him in peace 7965.

26:32 And it came to pass the same day 3117, that Isaac's 3327 servants 5650 came 935 8799, and told 5046 8686 him concerning 182 the well 875 which they had digged 2658 8804, and said 559 8799 unto him, We have found 4672 8804 water 4325.

26:33 And he called 7121 8799 it Shebah 7656: therefore the name 8034 of the city 5892 [is] Beersheba 884 unto this day 3117.(Shebah: That is, an oath)(Beersheba: that is, the well of the oath)

26:34 And Esau 6215 was forty 705 years 8141 old 1121 when he took 3947 8799 to wife 802 Judith 3067 the daughter 1323 of Beeri 882 the Hittite 2850, and Bashemath 1315 the daughter 1323 of Elon 356 the Hittite 2850:
