Genesis 26

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 And there was a famine in the land, in addition to the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech, king of the Philistines, unto Gerar.

2 And the LORD appeared unto him and said, <em>Do</em> not go down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of;

3 abide 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 lands, and I will confirm the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father;

4 and I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven and will give unto thy seed all these lands, and in thy seed shall all the Gentiles of the earth be blessed

5 because Abraham hearkened unto my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

6 Therefore Isaac dwelt in Gerar.

7 And the men of that place asked <em>him</em> of his wife; and he said, She <em>is</em> my sister, for he feared to say, <em>She is</em> my wife, lest, <em>said he</em>, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah because she <em>was</em> fair to look upon.

8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time that Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looking out a window, saw Isaac sporting with Rebekah, his wife.

9 And Abimelech called Isaac and said, Behold, of a surety she <em>is</em> thy wife; and how didst thou say, She <em>is</em> my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die because of her.

10 And Abimelech said, What <em>is</em> this thou hast done unto us? One of the people might easily have slept with thy wife, and thou should have brought the sin upon us.

11 Then Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.

12 Then Isaac sowed in that land and received in the same year one hundred-fold, and the LORD blessed him.

13 And the man waxed great and went forward and grew until he became very great,

14 for he had possession of flocks, possession of herds, great store of servants, and the Philistines envied him.

15 For all the wells which his father’s slaves had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them and filled them with earth.

16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.

17 And Isaac departed from there and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar and dwelt there.

18 And Isaac reopened the wells of water, which they had opened in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them <em>up</em> after the death of Abraham, and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.

19 And Isaac’s slaves dug in the valley and found there a well of living waters.

20 And the pastors of Gerar strove with Isaac’s pastors, saying, The water <em>is</em> ours; therefore he called the name of the well Esek, because they strove with him.

21 And they opened another well and strove for that <em>one</em> also; and he called the name of it Sitnah.

22 And he left there and opened another well; and for that <em>one</em> they did not strive and he called the name of it Rehoboth, and he said, For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

23 And he went up from there unto Beersheba.

24 And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I <em>am</em> the God of Abraham thy father; fear not, for I <em>am</em> with thee and will bless thee and multiply thy seed for my slave Abraham’s sake.

25 And he built an altar there and called upon the name of the LORD and pitched his tent there; and there Isaac’s slaves opened a well.

26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar and Ahuzzath, one of his friends, and Phichol, the chief captain of his army.

27 And Isaac said unto them, Why come ye to me, seeing ye hate me and have sent me away from you?

28 And they said, We have seen certainly that the LORD is with thee; and we said, Let there be now an oath between us, <em>even</em> between us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee,

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 <em>art</em> now the blessed of the LORD.

30 And he made them a banquet, and they ate and drank.

31 And they rose up early in the morning and swore one to another; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

32 And it came to pass the same day that Isaac’s slaves came and told him concerning the well which they had opened and said unto him, We have found water.

33 And he called it Shebah, therefore the name of the city <em>is</em> Beersheba unto this day.

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:

35 Who were bitterness of spirit unto Isaac and to Rebekah.

New International Version NIV

1 Now there was a famine in the land—besides the previous famine in Abraham’s time—and Isaac went to Abimelek king of the Philistines in Gerar.

2 The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live.

3 Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham.

4 I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed,

5 because Abraham obeyed me and did everything I required of him, keeping my commands, my decrees and my instructions.”

6 So Isaac stayed in Gerar.

7 When the men of that place asked him about his wife, he said, “She is my sister,” because he was afraid to say, “She is my wife.” He thought, “The men of this place might kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is beautiful.”

8 When Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelek king of the Philistines looked down from a window and saw Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.

9 So Abimelek summoned Isaac and said, “She is really your wife! Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac answered him, “Because I thought I might lose my life on account of her.”

10 Then Abimelek said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the men might well have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”

11 So Abimelek gave orders to all the people: “Anyone who harms this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.”

12 Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the LORD blessed him.

13 The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy.

14 He had so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.

15 So all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the time of his father Abraham, the Philistines stopped up, filling them with earth.

16 Then Abimelek said to Isaac, “Move away from us; you have become too powerful for us.”

17 So Isaac moved away from there and encamped in the Valley of Gerar, where he settled.

18 Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the same names his father had given them.

19 Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water there.

20 But the herders of Gerar quarreled with those of Isaac and said, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they disputed with him.

21 Then they dug another well, but they quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.

22 He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarreled over it. He named it Rehoboth, saying, “Now the LORD has given us room and we will flourish in the land.”

23 From there he went up to Beersheba.

24 That night the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bless you and will increase the number of your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham.”

25 Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD. There he pitched his tent, and there his servants dug a well.

26 Meanwhile, Abimelek had come to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his personal adviser and Phicol the commander of his forces.

27 Isaac asked them, “Why have you come to me, since you were hostile to me and sent me away?”

28 They answered, “We saw clearly that the LORD was with you; so we said, ‘There ought to be a sworn agreement between us’—between us and you. Let us make a treaty with you

29 that you will do us no harm, just as we did not harm you but always treated you well and sent you away peacefully. And now you are blessed by the LORD.”

30 Isaac then made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

31 Early the next morning the men swore an oath to each other. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they went away peacefully.

32 That day Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. They said, “We’ve found water!”

33 He called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the town has been Beersheba.

34 When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and also Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.

35 They were a source of grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
