1. There was a famine in the land, subsequent to the earlier famine that occurred in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines at Gerar.
1. And there was H1961 a famine H7458 in the land H776 , beside H4480 H905 the first H7223 famine H7458 that H834 was H1961 in the days H3117 of Abraham H85 . And Isaac H3327 went H1980 unto H413 Abimelech H40 king H4428 of the Philistines H6430 unto Gerar H1642 .
2. The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; settle down in the land that I will point out to you.
2. And the LORD H3068 appeared H7200 unto H413 him , and said H559 , Go not down H3381 H408 into Egypt H4714 ; dwell H7931 in the land H776 which H834 I shall tell H559 thee of H413 :
3. Stay in this land. Then I will be with you and will bless you, for I will give all these lands to you and to your descendants, and I will fulfill the solemn promise I made to your father Abraham.
3. Sojourn H1481 in this H2063 land H776 , and I will be H1961 with H5973 thee , and will bless H1288 thee; for H3588 unto thee , and unto thy seed H2233 , I will give H5414 H853 all H3605 these H411 countries H776 , and I will perform H6965 H853 the oath H7621 which H834 I swore H7650 unto Abraham H85 thy father H1 ;
4. I will multiply your descendants so they will be as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands. All the nations of the earth will pronounce blessings on one another using the name of your descendants.
4. And I will make H853 thy seed H2233 to multiply H7235 as the stars H3556 of heaven H8064 , and will give H5414 unto thy seed H2233 H853 all H3605 these H411 countries H776 ; and in thy seed H2233 shall all H3605 the nations H1471 of the earth H776 be blessed H1288 ;
5. All this will come to pass because Abraham obeyed me and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."
5. Because H6118 that H834 Abraham H85 obeyed H8085 my voice H6963 , and kept H8104 my charge H4931 , my commandments H4687 , my statutes H2708 , and my laws H8451 .
6. So Isaac settled in Gerar.
6. And Isaac H3327 dwelt H3427 in Gerar H1642 :
7. When the men of that place asked him about his wife, he replied, "She is my sister." He was afraid to say, "She is my wife," for he thought to himself, "The men of this place will kill me to get Rebekah because she is very beautiful."
7. And the men H376 of the place H4725 asked H7592 him of his wife H802 ; and he said H559 , She H1931 is my sister H269 : for H3588 he feared H3372 to say H559 , She is my wife H802 ; lest H6435 , said he , the men H376 of the place H4725 should kill H2026 me for H5921 Rebekah H7259 ; because H3588 she H1931 was fair H2896 to look upon H4758 .
8. After Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines happened to look out a window and observed Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.
8. And it came to pass H1961 , when H3588 he had been there H8033 a long H748 time H3117 , that Abimelech H40 king H4428 of the Philistines H6430 looked out H8259 at H1157 a window H2474 , and saw H7200 , and, behold H2009 , Isaac H3327 was sporting H6711 with H853 Rebekah H7259 his wife H802 .
9. So Abimelech summoned Isaac and said, "She is really your wife! Why did you say, 'She is my sister'?" Isaac replied, "Because I thought someone might kill me to get her."
9. And Abimelech H40 called H7121 Isaac H3327 , and said H559 , Behold H2009 , of a surety H389 she H1931 is thy wife H802 : and how H349 saidst H559 thou, She H1931 is my sister H269 ? And Isaac H3327 said H559 unto H413 him, Because H3588 I said H559 , Lest H6435 I die H4191 for H5921 her.
10. Then Abimelech exclaimed, "What in the world have you done to us? One of the men might easily have had sexual relations with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!"
10. And Abimelech H40 said H559 , What H4100 is this H2063 thou hast done H6213 unto us? one H259 of the people H5971 might lightly H4592 have lain H7901 with H854 thy wife H802 , and thou shouldest have brought H935 guiltiness H817 upon H5921 us.
11. So Abimelech commanded all the people, "Whoever touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death."
11. And Abimelech H40 charged H6680 H853 all H3605 his people H5971 , saying H559 , He that toucheth H5060 this H2088 man H376 or his wife H802 shall surely be put to death H4191 H4191 .
12. When Isaac planted in that land, he reaped in the same year a hundred times what he had sown, because the LORD blessed him.
12. Then Isaac H3327 sowed H2232 in that H1931 land H776 , and received H4672 in the same H1931 year H8141 a hundredfold H3967 H8180 : and the LORD H3068 blessed H1288 him.
13. The man became wealthy. His influence continued to grow until he became very prominent.
13. And the man H376 waxed great H1431 , and went H1980 forward H1980 , and grew H1432 until H5704 H3588 he became very great H1431 H3966 :
14. He had so many sheep and cattle and such a great household of servants that the Philistines became jealous of him.
14. For he had H1961 possession H4735 of flocks H6629 , and possession H4735 of herds H1241 , and great store H7227 of servants H5657 : and the Philistines H6430 envied H7065 him.
15. So the Philistines took dirt and filled up all the wells that his father's servants had dug back in the days of his father Abraham.
15. For all H3605 the wells H875 which H834 his father H1 's servants H5650 had digged H2658 in the days H3117 of Abraham H85 his father H1 , the Philistines H6430 had stopped H5640 them , and filled H4390 them with earth H6083 .
16. Then Abimelech said to Isaac, "Leave us and go elsewhere, for you have become much more powerful than we are."
16. And Abimelech H40 said H559 unto H413 Isaac H3327 , Go H1980 from H4480 H5973 us; for H3588 thou art much mightier H6105 H3966 than H4480 we.
17. So Isaac left there and settled in the Gerar Valley.
17. And Isaac H3327 departed H1980 thence H4480 H8033 , and pitched his tent H2583 in the valley H5158 of Gerar H1642 , and dwelt H3427 there H8033 .
18. Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug back in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after Abraham died. Isaac gave these wells the same names his father had given them.
18. And Isaac H3327 digged H2658 again H7725 H853 the wells H875 of water H4325 , which H834 they had digged H2658 in the days H3117 of Abraham H85 his father H1 ; for the Philistines H6430 had stopped H5640 them after H310 the death H4194 of Abraham H85 : and he called H7121 their names H8034 after the names H8034 by which H834 his father H1 had called H7121 them.
19. When Isaac's servants dug in the valley and discovered a well with fresh flowing water there,
19. And Isaac H3327 's servants H5650 digged H2658 in the valley H5158 , and found H4672 there H8033 a well H875 of springing H2416 water H4325 .
20. the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water belongs to us!" So Isaac named the well Esek because they argued with him about it.
20. And the herdsmen H7462 of Gerar H1642 did strive H7378 with H5973 Isaac H3327 's herdsmen H7462 , saying H559 , The water H4325 is ours : and he called H7121 the name H8034 of the well H875 Esek H6230 ; because H3588 they strove H6229 with H5973 him.
21. His servants dug another well, but they quarreled over it too, so Isaac named it Sitnah.
21. And they digged H2658 another H312 well H875 , and strove H7378 for H5921 that also H1571 : and he called H7121 the name H8034 of it Sitnah H7856 .
22. Then he moved away from there and dug another well. They did not quarrel over it, so Isaac named it Rehoboth, saying, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we will prosper in the land."
22. And he removed H6275 from thence H4480 H8033 , and digged H2658 another H312 well H875 ; and for H5921 that they strove H7378 not H3808 : and he called H7121 the name H8034 of it Rehoboth H7344 ; and he said H559 , For H3588 now H6258 the LORD H3068 hath made room H7337 for us , and we shall be fruitful H6509 in the land H776 .
23. From there Isaac went up to Beer Sheba.
23. And he went up H5927 from thence H4480 H8033 to Beer H884 -sheba.
24. The LORD appeared to him that night and said, "I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham."
24. And the LORD H3068 appeared H7200 unto H413 him the same H1931 night H3915 , and said H559 , I H595 am the God H430 of Abraham H85 thy father H1 : fear H3372 not H408 , for H3588 I H595 am with H854 thee , and will bless H1288 thee , and multiply H7235 H853 thy seed H2233 for H5668 my servant H5650 Abraham H85 's sake.
25. Then Isaac built an altar there and worshiped the LORD. He pitched his tent there, and his servants dug a well.
25. And he built H1129 an altar H4196 there H8033 , and called H7121 upon the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 , and pitched H5186 his tent H168 there H8033 : and there H8033 Isaac H3327 's servants H5650 digged H3738 a well H875 .
26. Now Abimelech had come to him from Gerar along with Ahuzzah his friend and Phicol the commander of his army.
26. Then Abimelech H40 went H1980 to H413 him from Gerar H4480 H1642 , and Ahuzzath H276 one of his friends H4828 , and Phichol H6369 the chief captain H8269 of his army H6635 .
27. Isaac asked them, "Why have you come to me? You hate me and sent me away from you."
27. And Isaac H3327 said H559 unto H413 them, Wherefore H4069 come H935 ye to H413 me , seeing ye H859 hate H8130 me , and have sent me away H7971 from H4480 you?
28. They replied, "We could plainly see that the LORD is with you. So we decided there should be a pact between us� between us and you. Allow us to make a treaty with you
28. And they said H559 , We saw certainly H7200 H7200 that H3588 the LORD H3068 was H1961 with H5973 thee : and we said H559 , Let there be H1961 now H4994 an oath H423 between H996 us, even between H996 us and thee , and let us make H3772 a covenant H1285 with H5973 thee;
29. so that you will not do us any harm, just as we have not harmed you, but have always treated you well before sending you away in peace. Now you are blessed by the LORD."
29. That H518 thou wilt do H6213 us no hurt H7451 , as H834 we have not H3808 touched H5060 thee , and as H834 we have done H6213 unto H5973 thee nothing but H7535 good H2896 , and have sent thee away H7971 in peace H7965 : thou H859 art now H6258 the blessed H1288 of the LORD H3068 .
30. So Isaac held a feast for them and they celebrated.
30. And he made H6213 them a feast H4960 , and they did eat H398 and drink H8354 .
31. Early in the morning the men made a treaty with each other. Isaac sent them off; they separated on good terms.
31. And they rose up quickly H7925 in the morning H1242 , and swore H7650 one H376 to another H251 : and Isaac H3327 sent them away H7971 , and they departed H1980 from H4480 H854 him in peace H7965 .
32. That day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well they had dug. "We've found water," they reported.
32. And it came to pass H1961 the same H1931 day H3117 , that Isaac H3327 's servants H5650 came H935 , and told H5046 him concerning H5921 H182 the well H875 which H834 they had digged H2658 , and said H559 unto him , We have found H4672 water H4325 .
33. So he named it Shibah; that is why the name of the city has been Beer Sheba to this day.
33. And he called H7121 it Shebah H7656 : therefore H5921 H3651 the name H8034 of the city H5892 is Beer H884 -sheba unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 .
34. When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, as well as Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
34. And Esau H6215 was H1961 forty H705 years H8141 old H1121 when he took H3947 to wife H802 H853 Judith H3067 the daughter H1323 of Beeri H882 the Hittite H2850 , and Bashemath H1315 the daughter H1323 of Elon H356 the Hittite H2850 :
35. They caused Isaac and Rebekah great anxiety.
35. Which were H1961 a grief H4786 of mind H7307 unto Isaac H3327 and to Rebekah H7259 .
