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

6 And he dwelt Isaac in Gerar.

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

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

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

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

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

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

22 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 And he went up from there Beer Sheba.

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

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

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

34 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.
