Gênesis 26:27 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 26:27

And Isaac said unto them, wherefore come ye to me

25 Isaque, pois, edificou ali um altar e invocou o nome do Senhor; ent茫o armou ali a sua tenda, e os seus servos cavaram um po莽o.
26 Ent茫o Abimeleque veio a ele de Gerar, com A眉zate, seu amigo, e Ficol, o chefe do seu ex茅rcito.
27 E perguntou-lhes Isaque: Por que viestes ter comigo, visto que me odiais, e me repelistes de v贸s?
28 Responderam eles: Temos visto claramente que o Senhor 茅 contigo, pelo que dissemos: Haja agora juramento entre n贸s, entre n贸s e ti; e fa莽amos um pacto contigo,
29 que n茫o nos far谩s mal, assim como n贸s n茫o te havemos tocado, e te fizemos somente o bem, e te deixamos ir em paz. Agora tu 茅s o bendito do Senhor.
