Gênesis 26:13-23

Listen to Gênesis 26:13-23
13 E engrandeceu-se o homem; e foi-se enriquecendo até que se tornou mui poderoso;
14 e tinha possessões de rebanhos e de gado, e muita gente de serviço; de modo que os filisteus o invejavam.
15 Ora, todos os poços, que os servos de seu pai tinham cavado nos dias de seu pai Abraão, os filisteus entulharam e encheram de terra.
16 E Abimeleque disse a Isaque: Aparta-te de nós; porque muito mais poderoso te tens feito do que nós.
17 Então Isaque partiu dali e, acampando no vale de Gerar, lá habitou.
18 E Isaque tornou a cavar os poços que se haviam cavado nos dias de Abraão seu pai, pois os filisteus os haviam entulhado depois da morte de Abraão; e deu-lhes os nomes que seu pai lhes dera.
19 Cavaram, pois, os servos de Isaque naquele vale, e acharam ali um poço de águas vivas.
20 E os pastores de Gerar contenderam com os pastores de Isaque, dizendo: Esta água é nossa. E ele chamou ao poço Eseque, porque contenderam com ele.
21 Então cavaram outro poço, pelo qual também contenderam; por isso chamou-lhe Sitna.
22 E partiu dali, e cavou ainda outro poço; por este não contenderam; pelo que chamou-lhe Reobote, dizendo: Pois agora o Senhor nos deu largueza, e havemos de crescer na terra.
23 Depois subiu dali a Beer-Seba.

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.
