Génesis 26:28-35

28 Y ellos respondieron: Hemos visto que el SEÑOR es contigo; y dijimos: Haya ahora juramento entre nosotros, entre nosotros y tú, y haremos alianza contigo:

29 Que no nos hagas mal, como nosotros no te hemos tocado, y como solamente te hemos hecho bien, y te enviamos en paz; tú ahora, bendito del SEÑOR.

30 Entonces él les hizo banquete, y comieron y bebieron.

31 Y madrugaron por la mañana, y juraron el uno al otro; e Isaac los envió, y ellos se partieron de él en paz.

32 Y en aquel día sucedió que vinieron los criados de Isaac, y le dieron nuevas acerca del pozo que habían abierto, y le dijeron: Agua hemos hallado.

33 Y lo llamó Seba, por cuya causa el nombre de aquella ciudad es Beerseba hasta este día.

34 Y cuando Esaú fue de cuarenta años, tomó por mujer a Judit hija de Beeri, el heteo, y a Basemat hija de Elón, el heteo:

35 Y fueron amargura de espíritu a Isaac y a Rebeca.

Génesis 26:28-35 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 26

This chapter treats of Isaac's removal to Gerar, occasioned by a famine, Ge 26:1; of the Lord's appearance to him there, advising him to sojourn in that place, and not go down to Egypt; renewing the covenant he had made with Abraham, concerning giving that country to him and his seed, Ge 26:2-6; of what happened unto him at Gerar on account of his wife, Ge 26:7-11; of Isaac's great prosperity and success, which drew the envy of the Philistines upon him, Ge 26:12-15; of his departure from hence to the valley of Gerar, at the instance of Abimelech; and of the contentions between his herdsmen, and those of Gerar, about wells of water, which caused him to remove to Beersheba, Ge 26:16-23; of the Lord's appearance to him there, renewing the above promise to him, where he built an altar, pitched his tent, and his servants dug a well, Ge 26:24,25; of Abimelech's coming to him thither, and making a covenant with him, Ge 26:26-31; which place had its name from the oath then made, and the well there dug, Ge 26:32,33; and lastly, of the marriage of Esau, which was a great grief to Isaac and Rebekah, Ge 26:34,35.
