1 And there came to be a famine in the land, besides the first famine which happened in the days of Abraham,so Isaac went his way unto Abimelech, king of the Philistines towards Gerar;2 and Yahweh appeared unto him, and said, do not go down towards Egypt,Make thy habitation in the land, which I may name unto thee:3 Sojourn in this land, that I may be with thee and bless thee,for, to thee, and to thy seed, will I give all these lands, So will I establish the oath which I sware to Abraham thy father;4 and will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and will give to thy seed, all these lands,And all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves in thy seed:5 Because that Abraham hearkened unto my voice,and so kept my charge, my commandments my statutes and my laws.6 So Isaac dwelt in Gerar.7 Then asked the men of the place as to his wife, and he said, My sister, is she,For he feared to say My wife, lest the men of the place should slay me on account of Rebekah, for fair to Nook on, she is.8 And it came to pass when the days had lengthened out to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines, looked out through the lattice of a window,and he beheld and lo! Isaaclaughing with Rebekah his wife.
