Genesis 26

1 Now a famine happened in the land, besides the first famine that had been in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines at 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 Now Yahweh appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land that I tell you to live in.

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 Stay in this very land, and I will be with you and will bless you; for to you and to your descendants, I will give all these lands, and I will fulfill the oath that I swore to Abraham your 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 I will multiply your descendants like the stars of heaven, and will give to your descendants all these lands. Through your descendants all the nations of the earth will 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 I will do this because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my instructions, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”

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

6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.

And he dwelt Isaac in Gerar.

7 When the men of the place asked him about his wife, he said, “She is my sister.” He feared to say, “She is my wife,” because he thought, “The men of this place will kill me to get Rebekah, because she is so beautiful.”

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 After Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines happened to look out of a window. He saw, behold, Isaac was caressing 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 Abimelech called Isaac to him and said, “Look, certainly she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister'?” Isaac said to him, “Because I thought someone might kill me to get 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 Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”

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 So Abimelech warned all the people and said, “Whoever touches this man or his wife will surely be put to 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 Isaac planted crops in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold, because Yahweh 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 The man became rich, and grew more and more until he became very great.

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

14 He had many sheep and cattle, and a large household. The Philistines envied him.

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

15 Now all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them up by filling them with earth.

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 Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”

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

17 So Isaac departed from there and settled in the Valley of Gerar, and lived there.

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

18 Once again Isaac dug out the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father. The Philistines had stopped them up after Abraham's death. Isaac called the wells by the same names that his father had called 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 When Isaac's servants dug in the valley, they found there a well of flowing water.

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

20 The herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, and said, “This water is ours.” So Isaac called that well “Esek,” because they had quarreled 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 Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that, too, so he gave it the name of “Sitnah.”

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

22 He left there and dug yet another well, but they did not quarrel over that one. So he called it Rehoboth, and he said, “Now Yahweh has made room for us, and we will prosper in the land.”

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 Then Isaac went up from there to Beersheba.

And he went up from there Beer Sheba.

24 Yahweh appeared to him that same night and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not fear, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your descendants, for my servant Abraham's 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 Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of Yahweh. There he pitched his tent, and his servants dug 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 Abimelech went to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath, his friend, and Phicol, the captain of his army.

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

27 Isaac said to them, “Why are you coming to me, since you hate me and have sent me 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 Then they said, “We have clearly seen that Yahweh has been with you. So we decided that there should be an oath between us, yes, between us and you. So let us make a covenant with you,

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 that you will do us no harm, just as we have not harmed you, and as we have treated you well and have sent you away in peace. Indeed, you are blessed by Yahweh.”

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 So Isaac made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

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

31 They rose early in the morning and swore an oath with each other. Then Isaac sent them away, and they left 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 That same day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well that they had dug. They said, “We have 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 He called the well Shibah, so the name of that city is Beersheba to this day.

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

34 When Esau was forty years old, he took a wife, Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and also Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

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 They brought sorrow to Isaac and Rebekah.

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