Genesis 26

1 And there was a famine in the lande besides the first famine that was in the dayes of Abraham. Wherefore Izhak went to Abimelech King of the Philistims vnto Gerar.

And it was a famine in the land besides the famine former which it was in [the] days of Abraham and he went Isaac to Abimelech [the] king of [the] Philistines Gerar towards.

2 For the Lord appeared vnto him, and sayde, Goe not downe into Egypt, but abide in the land which I shall shewe vnto thee.

And he appeared to him Yahweh and he said may not you go down Egypt towards dwell in the land which I will say to you.

3 Dwell in this lande, and I will be with thee, and will blesse thee: for to thee, and to thy seede I will giue all these countreys: and I will performe the othe which I sware vnto Abraham thy father.

Sojourn in the land this so I may be with you and I will bless you for to you and to offspring your I will give all the lands these and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham father your.

4 Also I wil cause thy seede to multiply as the starres of heauen, and will giue vnto thy seede all these countreys: and in thy seede shall all the nations of the earth be blessed,

And I will multiply offspring your like [the] stars of the heavens and I will give to offspring your all the lands these and they will bless themselves by offspring your all [the] nations of the earth.

5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voyce and kept mine ordinance, my commandements, my statutes, and my Lawes.

Consequence that he listened Abraham to voice my and he kept duty my commandments my statutes my and laws my.

6 So Izhak dwelt in Gerar.

And he dwelt Isaac in Gerar.

7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife, and he sayd, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife, least, sayde he, the men of the place shoulde kill me, because of Rebekah: for she was beautifull to the eye.

And they asked [the] men of the place of wife his and he said [is] sister my she for he was afraid to say wife my lest they should kill me [the] men of the place on Rebekah for [was] good of appearance she.

8 So after hee had bene there long time, Abimelech King of the Philistims looked out at a windowe, and loe, he sawe Izhak sporting with Rebekah his wife.

And it was that they had become long to him there the days and he looked down Abimelech [the] king of [the] Philistines through the window and he saw and there! Isaac [was] playing with Rebekah wife his.

9 Then Abimelech called Izhak, and sayde, Loe, shee is of a suertie thy wife, and why saydest thou, She is my sister? To whom Izhak answered, Because I thought this, It may be that I shall dye for her.

And he summoned Abimelech Isaac and he said surely here! [is] wife your she and how? did you say [is] sister my she and he said to him Isaac for I thought lest I should die on her.

10 Then Abimelech said, Why hast thou done this vnto vs? one of the people had almost lien by thy wife, so shouldest thou haue brought sinne vpon vs.

And he said Abimelech what? this have you done to us like a little he lay with one of the people wife your and you will bring on us guilt.

11 Then Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man, or his wife, shall die the death.

And he commanded Abimelech all the people saying who [-ever] touches the man this and wife his certainly he will be put to death.

12 Afterwarde Izhak sowed in that lande, and founde in the same yeere an hundreth folde by estimation: and so the Lord blessed him.

And he sowed Isaac in the land that and he found in the year that one hundred measures and he blessed him Yahweh.

13 And the man waxed mightie, and stil increased, till he was exceeding great,

And he became great the man and he went continuously and becoming great until for he became great exceedingly.

14 For he had flockes of sheepe, and heards of cattell, and a mightie housholde: therefore the Philistims had enuy at him.

And it be[longed] to him livestock of flock and livestock of herd and service much and they envied him [the] Philistines.

15 In so much that the Philistims stopped and filled vp with earth all the welles, which his fathers seruantes digged in his father Abrahams time.

And all the wells which they had dug [the] servants of father his in [the] days of Abraham father his they stopped up them [the] Philistines and they filled them earth.

16 Then Abimelech sayde vnto Izhak, Get thee from vs, for thou art mightier then wee a great deale.

And he said Abimelech to Isaac go from with us for you have become [too] powerful for us much.

17 Therefore Izhak departed thence and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

And he went from there Isaac and he encamped in [the] wadi of Gerar and he dwelt there.

18 And Izhak returning, digged the welles of water, which they had digged in the dayes of Abraham his father: for the Philistims had stopped them after the death of Abraham, and hee gaue them the same names, which his father gaue them.

And he returned Isaac and he dug - [the] wells of water which people had dug in [the] days of Abraham father his and they had stopped up them [the] Philistines after [the] death of Abraham and he called them names like the names which he had called them father his.

19 Izhaks seruantes then digged in the valley, and found there a well of liuing water.

And they dug [the] servants of Isaac in the wadi and they found there a well of water living.

20 But the herdmen of Gerar did striue with Izhaks herdmen, saying, The water is ours: therefore called he the name of the well Esek, because they were at strife with him.

And they disputed [the] herdsmen of Gerar with [the] herdsmen of Isaac saying [belongs] to us the water and he called [the] name of the well Esek for they quarreled with him.

21 Afterwarde they digged another well, and stroue for that also, and he called the name of it Sitnah.

And they dug a well another and they disputed also on it and he called name its Sitnah.

22 Then he remoued thence, and digged an other well, for the which they stroue not: therefore called hee the name of it Rehoboth, and sayde, Because the Lord hath nowe made vs roome, we shall increase vpon the earth.

And he moved on from there and he dug a well another and not they disputed on it and he called name its Rehoboth and he said that now he has made space Yahweh for us and we will be fruitful in the land.

23 So he went vp thence to Beer-sheba.

And he went up from there Beer Sheba.

24 And the Lord appeared vnto him the same night, and sayde, I am the God of Abraham thy father: feare not, for I am with thee, and wil blesse thee, and will multiplie thy seede for my seruant Abrahams sake.

And he appeared to him Yahweh in the night that and he said I [am] [the] God of Abraham father your may not you be afraid for [am] with you I and I will bless you and I will multiply offspring your for sake of Abraham servant my.

25 Then he builte an altar there, and called vpon the Name of the Lord, and there spred his tent: where also Izhaks seruauntes digged a well.

And he built there an altar and he called on [the] name of Yahweh and he pitched there tent his and they dug there [the] servants of Isaac a well.

26 Then came Abimelech to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friendes, and Phichol the captaine of his armie.

And Abimelech he came to him from Gerar and Ahuzzah close friend his and Phicol [the] commander of army his.

27 To whom Izhak sayd, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate mee and haue put mee away from you?

And he said to them Isaac why? have you come to me and you you hate me and you sent away me from with you.

28 Who answered, Wee sawe certainely that the Lord was with thee, and wee thought thus, Let there be nowe an othe betweene vs, euen betweene vs and thee, and let vs make a couenant with thee.

And they said certainly we have seen that he has been Yahweh - with you and we said let it be please an oath between us between us and between you and let us make a covenant with you.

29 If thou shalt do vs no hurt, as we haue not touched thee, and as we haue done vnto thee nothing but good, and sent thee away in peace: thou nowe, the blessed of the Lord, doe this.

If you will do with us harm just as not we have touched you and just as we have done with you only good and we sent away you in peace you now [are] blessed of Yahweh.

30 Then hee made them a feast, and they dyd eate and drinke.

And he prepared for them a feast and they ate and they drank.

31 And they rose vp betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: then Izhak let them go, and they departed from him in peace.

And they rose early in the morning and they swore an oath each to brother his and he sent off them Isaac and they went from with him in peace.

32 And that same day Izhaks seruantes came and tolde him of a well, which they had digged, and said vnto him, We haue found water.

And it was - on the day that and they came [the] servants of Isaac and they told to him on [the] causes of the well which they had dug and they said to him we have found water.

33 So hee called it Shibah: therefore the name of the citie is called Beer-sheba vnto this day.

And he called it Shibah there-fore [the] name of the city [is] Beer Sheba until the day this.

34 Nowe when Esau was fourtie yeere olde, he tooke to wife Iudith, the daughter of Beeri an Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon an Hittite also.

And he was Esau a son of forty year[s] and he took a wife Judith [the] daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath [the] daughter of Elon the Hittite.

35 And they were a griefe of minde to Izhak and to Rebekah.

And they were bitterness of spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah.
