And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, at Gerar. <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> And the Lord came to him in a vision and said, Do not go down to Egypt; keep in the land of which I will give you knowledge: <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> Keep in this land, and I will be with you and give you my blessing; for to you and to your seed will I give all these lands, giving effect to the oath which I made to your father Abraham; <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and will give them all these lands, and your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth; <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> Because Abraham gave ear to my voice and kept my words, my rules, my orders, and my laws. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> So Isaac went on living in Gerar; <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> And when he was questioned by the men of the place about his wife, he said, She is my sister; fearing to say, She is my wife; for, he said, the men of the place may put me to death on account of Rebekah; because she is very beautiful. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> And when he had been there for some time, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looking through a window, saw Isaac playing with Rebekah his wife. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> And he said to Isaac, It is clear that she is your wife: why then did you say, She is my sister? And Isaac said, For fear that I might be put to death because of her. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> Then Abimelech said, What have you done to us? one of the people might well have had connection with your wife, and the sin would have been ours. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> And Abimelech gave orders to his people that anyone touching Isaac or his wife was to be put to death. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> Now Isaac, planting seed in that land, got in the same year fruit a hundred times as much, for the blessing of the Lord was on him. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> And his wealth became very great, increasing more and more; <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> For he had great wealth of flocks and herds and great numbers of servants; so that the Philistines were full of envy. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> Now all the water-holes, which his father&#8217;s servants had made in the days of Abraham, had been stopped up with earth by the Philistines. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you are stronger than we are. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> So Isaac went away from there, and put up his tents in the valley of Gerar, making his living-place there. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> And he made again the water-holes which had been made in the days of Abraham his father, and which had been stopped up by the Philistines; and he gave them the names which his father had given them. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> Now Isaac&#8217;s servants made holes in the valley, and came to a spring of flowing water. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> But the herdmen of Gerar had a fight with Isaac&#8217;s herdmen, for they said, The spring is ours: so he gave the spring the name of Esek, because there was a fight about it. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> Then they made another water-hole, and there was a fight about that, so he gave it the name of Sitnah. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> Then he went away from there, and made another water-hole, about which there was no fighting: so he gave it the name of Rehoboth, for he said, Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will have fruit in this land. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> And from there he went on to Beer-sheba. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> That night the Lord came to him in a vision, and said, I am the God of your father Abraham: have no fear for I am with you, blessing you, and your seed will be increased because of my servant Abraham. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> Then he made an altar there, and gave worship to the name of the Lord, and he put up his tents there, and there his servants made a water-hole. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> And Abimelech had come to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend and Phicol, the captain of his army. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> And Isaac said to them, Why have you come to me, seeing that in your hate for me you sent me away from you? <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> And they said, We saw clearly that the Lord was with you: so we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and let us make an agreement with you; <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> That you will do us no damage, even as we put no hand on you, and did you nothing but good, and sent you away in peace: and now the blessing of the Lord is on you. <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> Then he made a feast for them, and they all had food and drink. <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> And early in the morning they took an oath one to the other: then Isaac sent them away and they went on their way in peace. <\/br><strong>32<\/strong> And that day Isaac&#8217;s servants came to him and gave him word of the water-hole which they had made, and said to him, We have come to water. <\/br><strong>33<\/strong> And he gave it the name of Shibah: so the name of that town is Beer-sheba to this day. <\/br><strong>34<\/strong> And when Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite: <\/br><strong>35<\/strong> And Isaac and Rebekah had grief of mind because of them. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n
