Genesis 26

1 Isaac because of famine went to Gerar. 2 God instructeth, and blesseth him. 7 He is reproved by Abimelech for denying his wife. 12 He groweth rich. 18 He diggeth Esek, Sitnah, and Rehoboth. 26 Abimelech maketh a covenant with him at Beer-sheba. 34 Esau's wives.

 26:1 ¶ And there was x1961 a famine 7458 in the land, 776 beside 905 x4480 the first 7223 famine 7458 that x834 was x1961 in the days 3117 of Abraham. 85 And Isaac 3327 went y3212 z8799 x1980 unto x413 Abimelech 40 king 4428 of the Philistines 6430 unto Gerar. 1642

 26:2 And the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 z8735 unto x413 him, and said, 559 z8799 Go not down 3381 z8799 x408 into Egypt; 4714 dwell 7931 z8798 in the land 776 which x834 I shall tell 559 z8799 thee of: x413

 26:3 Sojourn 1481 z8798 in this x2063 land, 776 and I will be x1961 with x5973 thee, and will bless 1288 z8762 thee; for x3588 unto thee, and unto thy seed, 2233 I will give 5414 z8799 x853 all x3605 these 411 countries, 776 and I will perform 6965 z8689 x853 the oath 7621 which x834 I sware 7650 z8738 unto Abraham 85 thy father; 1

 26:4 And I will make y7235 z0 x853 thy seed 2233 to multiply 7235 z8689 as the stars 3556 of heaven, 8064 and will give 5414 z8804 unto thy seed 2233 x853 all x3605 these 411 countries; 776 and in thy seed 2233 shall all x3605 the nations 1471 of the earth 776 be blessed; 1288 z8694

 26:5 Because 6118 that x834 Abraham 85 obeyed 8085 z8804 my voice, 6963 and kept 8104 z8799 my charge, 4931 my commandments, 4687 my statutes, 2708 and my laws. 8451

 26:6 ¶ And Isaac 3327 dwelt 3427 z8799 in Gerar: 1642

 26:7 And the men y582 x376 of the place 4725 asked 7592 z8799 [him] of his wife; 802 and he said, 559 z8799 She x1931 [is] my sister: 269 for x3588 he feared 3372 z8804 to say, 559 z8800 [She is] my wife; 802 lest, x6435 [said he], the men y582 x376 of the place 4725 should kill 2026 z8799 me for x5921 Rebekah; 7259 because x3588 she x1931 [was] fair 2896 to look upon. 4758

 26:8 And it came to pass, x1961 when x3588 he had been there x8033 a long 748 z8804 time, 3117 that Abimelech 40 king 4428 of the Philistines 6430 looked out 8259 z8686 at 1157 a window, 2474 and saw, 7200 z8799 and, behold, x2009 Isaac 3327 [was] sporting 6711 z8764 with x853 Rebekah 7259 his wife. 802

 26:9 And Abimelech 40 called 7121 z8799 Isaac, 3327 and said, 559 z8799 Behold, x2009 of a surety 389 she x1931 [is] thy wife: 802 and how x349 saidst 559 z8804 thou, She x1931 [is] my sister? 269 And Isaac 3327 said 559 z8799 unto x413 him, Because x3588 I said, 559 z8804 Lest x6435 I die 4191 z8799 for x5921 her.

 26:10 And Abimelech 40 said, 559 z8799 What x4100 [is] this x2063 thou hast done 6213 z8804 unto us? one 259 of the people 5971 might lightly 4592 have lien 7901 z8804 with x854 thy wife, 802 and thou shouldest have brought 935 z8689 guiltiness 817 upon x5921 us.

 26:11 And Abimelech 40 charged 6680 z8762 x853 all x3605 [his] people, 5971 saying, 559 z8800 He that toucheth 5060 z8802 this x2088 man 376 or his wife 802 shall surely y4191 z8800 be put to death. 4191 z8714

 26:12 Then Isaac 3327 sowed 2232 z8799 in that x1931 land, 776 and received 4672 z8799 in the same x1931 year 8141 an hundredfold: 3967 8180 and the LORD 3068 blessed 1288 z8762 him.

 26:13 And the man 376 waxed great, 1431 z8799 and went y3212 z8799 x1980 forward, 1980 z8800 and grew 1432 until x5704 x3588 he became y1431 z0 very y3966 great: 1431 z8804 x3966

 26:14 For he had x1961 possession 4735 of flocks, 6629 and possession 4735 of herds, 1241 and great store 7227 of servants: 5657 and the Philistines 6430 envied 7065 z8762 him.

 26:15 For all x3605 the wells 875 which x834 his father's 1 servants 5650 had digged 2658 z8804 in the days 3117 of Abraham 85 his father, 1 the Philistines 6430 had stopped 5640 z8765 them, and filled 4390 z8762 them with earth. 6083

 26:16 And Abimelech 40 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Isaac, 3327 Go y3212 z8798 x1980 from x4480 x5973 us; for x3588 thou art much y3966 mightier 6105 z8804 x3966 than x4480 we.

 26:17 ¶ And Isaac 3327 departed y3212 z8799 x1980 thence, x4480 x8033 and pitched his tent 2583 z8799 in the valley 5158 of Gerar, 1642 and dwelt 3427 z8799 there. 8033

 26:18 And Isaac 3327 digged 2658 z8799 again 7725 z8799 x853 the wells 875 of water, 4325 which x834 they had digged 2658 z8804 in the days 3117 of Abraham 85 his father; 1 for the Philistines 6430 had stopped 5640 z8762 them after 310 the death 4194 of Abraham: 85 and he called 7121 z8799 their names 8034 after the names 8034 by which 834 his father 1 had called 7121 z8804 them.

 26:19 And Isaac's 3327 servants 5650 digged 2658 z8799 in the valley, 5158 and found 4672 z8799 there x8033 a well 875 of springing 2416 water. 4325

 26:20 And the herdmen 7462 z8802 of Gerar 1642 did strive 7378 z8799 with x5973 Isaac's 3327 herdmen, 7462 z8802 saying, 559 z8800 The water 4325 [is] ours: and he called 7121 z8799 the name 8034 of the well 875 Esek; 6230 because x3588 they strove 6229 z8694 with x5973 him.

 26:21 And they digged 2658 z8799 another 312 well, 875 and strove 7378 z8799 for x5921 that also: x1571 and he called 7121 z8799 the name x8034 of it y8034 Sitnah. 7856

 26:22 And he removed 6275 z8686 from thence, x4480 x8033 and digged 2658 z8799 another 312 well; 875 and for x5921 that they strove 7378 z8804 not: x3808 and he called 7121 z8799 the name x8034 of it y8034 Rehoboth; 7344 and he said, 559 z8799 For x3588 now 6258 the LORD 3068 hath made room 7337 z8689 for us, and we shall be fruitful 6509 z8804 in the land. 776

 26:23 And he went up 5927 z8799 from thence x4480 x8033 to Beersheba. 884

 26:24 And the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 z8735 unto x413 him the same x1931 night, 3915 and said, 559 z8799 I x595 [am] the God 430 of Abraham 85 thy father: 1 fear 3372 z8799 not, x408 for x3588 I x595 [am] with 854 thee, and will bless 1288 z8765 thee, and multiply 7235 z8689 x853 thy seed 2233 for x5668 my servant 5650 Abraham's 85 sake.

 26:25 And he builded 1129 z8799 an altar 4196 there, x8033 and called 7121 z8799 upon the name 8034 of the LORD, 3068 and pitched 5186 z8799 his tent 168 there: x8033 and there x8033 Isaac's 3327 servants 5650 digged 3738 z8799 a well. 875

 26:26 ¶ Then Abimelech 40 went 1980 z8804 to x413 him from Gerar, 1642 x4480 and Ahuzzath 276 one of his friends, 4828 and Phichol 6369 the chief captain 8269 of his army. 6635

 26:27 And Isaac 3327 said 559 z8799 unto x413 them, Wherefore 4069 come 935 z8804 ye to x413 me, seeing ye x859 hate 8130 z8804 me, and have sent me away 7971 z8762 from x4480 you?

 26:28 And they said, 559 z8799 We saw y7200 z8804 certainly 7200 z8800 that x3588 the LORD 3068 was x1961 with x5973 thee: and we said, 559 z8799 Let there be x1961 now x4994 an oath 423 betwixt 996 us, [even] betwixt 996 us and thee, and let us make 3772 z8799 a covenant 1285 with x5973 thee;

 26:29 That x518 thou wilt do 6213 z8799 us no hurt, 7451 as x834 we have not x3808 touched 5060 z8804 thee, and as x834 we have done 6213 z8804 unto x5973 thee nothing but 7535 good, 2896 and have sent thee away 7971 z8762 in peace: 7965 thou x859 [art] now 6258 the blessed 1288 z8803 of the LORD. 3068

 26:30 And he made 6213 z8799 them a feast, 4960 and they did eat 398 z8799 and drink. 8354 z8799

 26:31 And they rose up betimes 7925 z8686 in the morning, 1242 and sware 7650 z8735 one 376 to another: 251 and Isaac 3327 sent them away, 7971 z8762 and they departed y3212 z8799 x1980 from x4480 x854 him in peace. 7965

 26:32 And it came to pass x1961 the same x1931 day, 3117 that Isaac's 3327 servants 5650 came, 935 z8799 and told 5046 z8686 him concerning 182 x5921 the well 875 which x834 they had digged, 2658 z8804 and said 559 z8799 unto him, We have found 4672 z8804 water. 4325

 26:33 And he called 7121 z8799 it Shebah: 7656 therefore x5921 x3651 the name 8034 of the city 5892 [is] Beersheba 884 unto x5704 this x2088 day. 3117

 26:34 ¶ And Esau 6215 was x1961 forty 705 years 8141 old 1121 when he took 3947 z8799 to wife 802 x853 Judith 3067 the daughter 1323 of Beeri 882 the Hittite, 2850 and Bashemath 1315 the daughter 1323 of Elon 356 the Hittite: 2850

 26:35 Which were x1961 a grief 4786 of mind 7307 unto Isaac 3327 and to Rebekah. 7259
