Genesi 26:10-20

Listen to Genesi 26:10-20
10 E Abimelec: "Che cos’è questo che ci hai fatto? Poco è mancato che qualcuno del popolo si giacesse con tua moglie, e tu ci avresti tirato addosso una gran colpa".
11 E Abimelec diede quest’ordine a tutto il popolo: "Chiunque toccherà quest’uomo o sua moglie sia messo a morte".
12 Isacco seminò in quel paese, e in quell’anno raccolse il centuplo; e l’Eterno lo benedisse.
13 Quest’uomo divenne grande, andò crescendo sempre più, finché diventò grande oltremisura.
14 Fu padrone di greggi di pecore, di mandre di buoi e di numerosa servitĂą. I Filistei lo invidiavano;
15 e perciò turarono ed empiron di terra tutti i pozzi che i servi di suo padre aveano scavati al tempo d’Abrahamo suo padre.
16 E Abimelec disse ad Isacco: "Vattene da noi, poiché tu sei molto più potente di noi".
17 Isacco allora si partì di là, s’accampò nella valle di Gherar, e quivi dimorò.
18 E Isacco scavò di nuovo i pozzi d’acqua ch’erano stati scavati al tempo d’Abrahamo suo padre, e che i Filistei avean turati dopo la morte d’Abrahamo; e pose loro gli stessi nomi che avea loro posto suo padre.
19 E i servi d’Isacco scavarono nella valle, e vi trovarono un pozzo d’acqua viva.
20 Ma i pastori di Gherar altercarono coi pastori d’Isacco, dicendo: "L’acqua è nostra". Ed egli chiamò il pozzo Esek, perché quelli aveano conteso con lui.

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.
