  • Genesis Chapter 26 A Faithful Version

    God’s Promise to Isaac

    Gen 26:1  And there was a famine in the land (besides the former famine that had been in the days of Abraham). And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, to Gerar.

    Gen 26:2  And the LORD appeared to him and said, “Do not go down into Egypt. Live in the land which I shall tell you of.

    Gen 26:3  Stay in this land, and I will be with you and bless you, for to you and to your seed, I will give all these lands; and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.

    Gen 26:4  And I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and will give to your seed all these lands. And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed,

    Gen 26:5  Because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

    Isaac and Abimelech

    Gen 26:6  And Isaac lived in Gerar.

    Gen 26:7  And when the men of the place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister” for he feared to say, “She is my wife,” lest the men of the place should kill him for Rebekah because she was beautiful to look upon.

    Gen 26:8  And when he had been there a long time, it came to pass that Abimelech, king of the Philistines, was looking out a window and saw Isaac caressing Rebekah his wife.

    Gen 26:9  And Abimelech called Isaac and said, “Behold, she surely is your wife. Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” And Isaac said to him, “Because I said, ‘Lest I die on account of her.’ “

    Gen 26:10  And Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us!”

    Gen 26:11  And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.”

    Gen 26:12  Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him.

    Gen 26:13  And the man became great—and continued gaining until he became very great.

    Gen 26:14  And he had possessions of flocks and herds and many servants. And the Philistines envied him.

    Gen 26:15  (Now the Philistines had stopped up all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father and filled them with dirt.)

    Gen 26:16  And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are mightier than we are.”

    Gen 26:17  So Isaac departed from there and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar and lived there.

    Gen 26:18  And Isaac dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham. And he called them by the names which his father had called them.

    Gen 26:19  And Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found there a well of flowing water.

    Gen 26:20  But the herdsmen of Gerar strove with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” And he called the name of the well Contention because they strove with him.

    Gen 26:21  And they dug another well, and they strove over that one too. And he called its name, Opposition.

    Gen 26:22  Then he moved from there and dug another well, but they did not strive over it. So he called its name, Broad Places. And he said, “For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.”

    Gen 26:23  And he went from there to Beersheba.

    Gen 26:24  And the LORD appeared to him the 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 seed for My servant Abraham’s sake.”

    Gen 26:25  And he built an altar there and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there. And Isaac’s servants dug a well there.

    Gen 26:26  Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath, one of his friends, and Phicol the commander of his army.

    Gen 26:27  And Isaac said to them, “Why do you come to me since you hate me and have sent me away from you?”

    Gen 26:28  And they said, “We saw certainly that the LORD was with you. And we said, ‘Let there be now an oath between us, between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you;

    Gen 26:29  That you will do us no harm since we have not touched you, and since we have done nothing but good to you, and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of the LORD.’ “

    Gen 26:30  And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.

    Gen 26:31  And they rose up early in the morning and swore an oath to one another. And Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

    Gen 26:32  And the same day Isaac’s servants came and told him about a well which they had dug, saying to him, “We have found water.”

    Gen 26:33  And he called the well, Shebah. Therefore the name of the city is The Well of Sheba to this day.

    Gen 26:34  And when Esau was forty years old, he took as wives Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

    Gen 26:35  And they both were a grief of spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah.

    The Call of Abram

    Gen 12:1  And the LORD said to Abram, “Get out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house into a land that I will show you.

    Gen 12:2  And I will make of you a great nation. And I will bless you and make your name great. And you shall be a blessing.

    Gen 12:3  And I will bless those that bless you and curse the one who curses you. And in you shall all families of the earth be blessed.”

    Gen 12:5  And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the people that they had gained in Haran. And they went forth to go into the land of Canaan. And they came into the land of Canaan.

    Gen 12:6  And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, unto the Oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.

    Gen 12:8  And he moved from there to a mountain on the east of Bethel. And he pitched his tent with Bethel toward the sea and Hai on the east. And he built an altar there to the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.

    Gen 12:11  And it came to pass, when he had come near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “Behold now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look upon.

    Gen 12:12  And it will be when the Egyptians see you, they shall say, ‘This is his wife.’ And they will kill me, but they will save you alive.

    Gen 12:13  I pray you, say that you are my sister, so that it may be well with me for your sake. And my soul shall live because of you.”

    Gen 12:14  And it came to pass that when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

    Gen 12:15  The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her before Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.

    Gen 12:16  And he treated Abram well for her sake. And he had sheep, and oxen, and male donkeys, and male servants, and maidservants, and female donkeys, and camels.

    Gen 12:17  And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.

    Gen 12:18  And Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she is your wife?

    Gen 12:19  Why did you say, ‘She is my sister?’ And so I was about to take her to me as wife. Now therefore, behold your wife. Take her and go your way.”

    Gen 12:20  And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him. And they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
