1: And there wasH1961 a famineH7458 in the land,H0776 besidesH0905 the famineH7458 firstH7223 thatH0834 had occurredH1961 in the daysH3117 of Abraham.H0085 And wentH1980 IsaacH3327 toH0413 AbimelechH0040 kingH4428 of the PhilistinesH6430 in Gerar.H1642

2: And appearedH7200 to himH0413 YahwehH3068 and said,H0559 notH0408 do go downH3381 to Egypt-H4714 liveH7931 in the landH0776 whereH0834 I shall tellH0559 you-H0413

3: DwellH1481 in landH0776 this,H2063 and I will beH1961 with youH5973 and bless you,H1288 ForH3588 and your descendantsH2233 I giveH5414 -H0853 allH3605 landsH0776 these,H0411 and I will confirmH6965 -H0853 the oathH7621 thatH0834 I sworeH7650 to AbrahamH0085 your father.H0001

4: And I will make multiplyH7235 -H0853 your descendantsH2233 as the starsH3556 in the sky,H8064 and I will giveH5414 to your descendantsH2233 -H0853 allH3605 landsH0776 these-H0411 and shall be blessedH1288 in your seedH2233 allH3605 the nationsH1471 of the earth.H0776

5: becauseH6118 thatH0834 obeyedH8085 AbrahamH0085 My voice,H6963 and keptH8104 My charge,H4931 My commandments,H4687 My statutes,H2708 and My laws.H8451

6: So dweltH3427 IsaacH3327 in Gerar.H1642

7: And askedH7592 the menH0376 of that placeH4725 about his wife-H0802 and he said,H0559 my sisterH0269 she [is],H1931 ForH3588 he was afraidH3372 to say,H0559 [She is] my wife-H0802 LestH6435 kill meH2026 the menH0376 of the place,H4725 on account ofH5921 RebekahH7259 becauseH3588 beautifulH2896 to beholdH4758 she [is].H1931

8: And it came to pass,H1961 whenH3588 had beenH0748 thereH8033 a long time,H3117 that lookedH8259 AbimelechH0040 kingH4428 of the PhilistinesH6430 throughH1157 a window,H2474 and saw,H7200 and there was,H2009 IsaacH3327 sportingH6711 -H0853 with RebekahH7259 his wife.H0802

9: And calledH7121 AbimelechH0040 unto Isaac,H3327 and said,H0559 surelyH0389 behold,H2009 your wifeH0802 she [is]!H1931 so howH0349 could you sayH0559 my sisterH0269 she [is]?H1931 and saidH0559 to himH0413 Isaac,H3327 becauseH3588 I said,H0559 lestH6435 I dieH4191 on account of her.H5921

10: And saidH0559 Abimelech,H0040 what [is]H4100 thisH2063 you have doneH6213 soonH4592 might have lain withH7901 oneH0259 of the peopleH5971 withH0854 your wife,H0802 and you would have broughtH0935 on usH5921 guilt.H0817

11: So warnedH6680 AbimelechH0040 -H0853 allH3605 [his] people,H5971 saying,H0559 He who touchesH5060 manH0376 thisH2088 or his wifeH0802 surelyH4191 shall be put to death.H4191

12: And sowedH2232 IsaacH3327 in landH0776 that,H1931 and reapedH4672 in the yearH8141 thatH1931 a hundredH3967 fold-H8180 and blessed himH1288 Yahweh.H3068

13: And began to prosperH1431 the man,H0376 andH1980 continued,H1980 to prosperH1431 untilH5704 thatH3588 he became prosperousH1431 very-H3966

14: For he hadH1961 possessions H4735 of flocks ,H6629 and possessions H4735 of herds ,H1241 and of servants-H5657 manyH7227 so enviedH7065 himH0853 the Philistines.H6430

15: And allH3605 the wellsH0875 thatH0834 had dugH2658 servantsH5650 his father'sH0001 in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH0085 his father,H0001 had stopped upH5640 the PhilistinesH6430 and filled themH4390 with earth.H6083

16: And saidH0559 AbimelechH0040 toH0413 Isaac,H3327 go awayH1980 from us,H5973 forH3588 you are mightierH6105 than weH4480 much.H3966

17: And departedH1980 from thereH8033 Isaac,H3327 and pitched his tentH2583 in the ValleyH5158 of Gerar,H1642 and dweltH3427 there.H8033

18: And againH7725 IsaacH3327 and dugH2658 -H0853 the wellsH0875 of water,H4325 whichH0834 they had dugH2658 in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH0085 his father-H0001 For had stopped them upH5640 the PhilistinesH6430 afterH0310 the deathH4194 of Abraham-H0085 and He calledH7121 the namesH8034 by the namesH8034 whichH0834 had calledH7121 his father.H0001

19: And dugH2658 servantsH5650 Isaac'sH3327 in the valley,H5158 and foundH4672 thereH8033 a wellH0875 of waterH4325 springing .H2416

20: But quarreledH7378 the herdsmenH7473 of GerarH1642 withH5973 herdsmenH7473 Isaac's,H3327 saying,H0559 the water [is]!H4325 so he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the wellH0875 Esek,H6230 becauseH3588 they quarreledH6229 with him.H5973

21: And they dugH2658 wellH0875 another,H0312 and they quarreledH7378 also,H1571 over that [one]H5921 so he calledH7121 its nameH8034 Sitnah.H7856

22: And he movedH6275 from there,H8033 and dugH2658 wellH0875 another-H0312 and notH3808 they did quarrelH7378 over it,H5921 so he calledH7121 its nameH8034 Rehoboth-H7344 and said,H0559 forH3588 nowH6258 has made roomH7337 YahwehH3068 and we shall be fruitfulH6509 in the land.H0776

23: And he went upH5927 from thereH8033 Beersheba.H0884

24: And appearedH7200 to himH0413 YahwehH3068 nightH3915 that,H1931 and said,H0559 I [am]H0595 the GodH0430 of AbrahamH0085 your father-H0001 notH0408 do fear,H3372 forH3588 with youH0854 I [am],H0595 and I will bless youH1288 and multiplyH7235 -H0853 your descendants,H2233 for the sakeH5668 of AbrahamH0085 my servant.H5650

25: So he builtH1129 thereH8033 an altar,H4196 and calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of Yahweh,H3068 And he pitchedH5186 thereH8033 his tent-H0168 and dugH3738 thereH8033 servantsH5650 Isaac'sH3327 a well.H0875

26: And AbimelechH0040 cameH1980 to himH0413 from Gerar,H1642 with AhuzzathH0276 his adviser,H4828 and PhicholH6369 the commanderH8269 of his army.H6635

27: And saidH0559 to themH0413 Isaac,H3327 whyH4069 have you comeH0935 to me,H0413 since youH0859 hateH8130 meH0853 and have sent me awayH7971 from you.H0853

28: But they said,H0559 surelyH7200 we have seenH7200 thatH3588 isH1961 YahwehH3068 with you,H5973 So we said,H0559 there should beH1961 nowH4994 an oathH0423 between [two parties]H0996 between usH0996 and between you,H0996 and let us makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with you,H5973

29: thatH0518 you will doH6213 usH5973 [no] harm,H7451 sinceH0834 notH3808 we have touched you,H5060 and sinceH0834 we have doneH6213 to youH5973 nothing butH7535 good,H2896 and have sent you awayH7971 in peace.H7965 You [are]H0859 nowH6258 the blessedH1288 of Yahweh!H3068

30: so he madeH6213 a feast,H4960 and they ateH0398 and drank.H8354

31: And they arose earlyH7925 in the morning,H1242 and swore an oathH7650 oneH0376 with another-H0251 and sent them awayH7971 Isaac,H3327 and they departedH1980 from himH0853 in peace.H7965

32: And it came to passH1961 on dayH3117 thatH1931 cameH0935 servantsH5650 Isaac'sH3327 and toldH5046 aboutH5921 the causeH0182 of the wellH0875 whichH0834 they had dug-H2658 and saidH0559 we have foundH4672 water.H4325

33: So he calledH7121 itH0853 Shebah-H7656 uponH5921 thusH3651 the nameH8034 of the city [is]H5892 BeershebaH0884 toH5704 dayH3117 this.H2088

34: And when wasH1961 EsauH6215 oldH1121 fortyH0705 yearsH8141 then he tookH3947 as wivesH0802 -H0853 Judith,H3067 the daughterH1323 of BeeriH0882 the Hittite,H2850 andH0853 Basemath,H1315 the daughterH1323 of ElonH0356 the Hittite,H2850

35: and they wereH1961 a griefH4786 of mindH7307 to IsaacH3327 and Rebekah.H7259
