30 Und er machte ihnen ein Mahl, und sie aßen und tranken.

31 Und sie standen des Morgens früh auf und schwuren einer dem anderen; und Isaak entließ sie, und sie zogen von ihm in Frieden. -

32 Und es geschah an selbigem Tage, da kamen Isaaks Knechte und berichteten ihm wegen des Brunnens, den sie gegraben hatten, und sprachen zu ihm: Wir haben Wasser gefunden.

33 Und er nannte ihn Sibea; daher der Name der Stadt Beerseba bis auf diesen Tag.

34 Und Esau war vierzig Jahre alt, da nahm er zum Weibe Judith, die Tochter Beeris, des Hethiters, und Basmath, die Tochter Elons, des Hethiters.

35 Und sie waren ein Herzeleid für Isaak und Rebekka.

Genesis 26:30-35 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.
