00:01.510 --> 00:06.650
Chapter 26 And there was a famine in the
land beside the first famine that was in

00:06.650 --> 00:07.550
the days of Abraham.

00:08.050 --> 00:11.990
And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the
Philistines unto Gerar.

00:12.350 --> 00:16.330
And the Lord appeared unto him,
and said, Go not down into Egypt.

00:17.150 --> 00:19.630
Dwell in the land which I shall tell thee
of.

00:20.550 --> 00:25.090
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with
thee, and will bless thee.

00:25.090 --> 00:30.090
For unto thee, and unto thy seed,
I will give all these countries.

00:30.950 --> 00:34.890
And I will perform the oath which I swear
unto Abraham thy father.

00:35.930 --> 00:41.430
And I will make thy seed to multiply as
the stars of heaven, and will give unto

00:41.430 --> 00:43.230
thy seed all these countries.

00:44.170 --> 00:49.310
And in thy seed shall all the nations of
the earth be blessed, because that Abraham

00:49.310 --> 00:56.170
obeyed my voice, and kept my charge,
my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

00:56.630 --> 00:57.990
And Isaac dwelt in Gerar.

00:58.250 --> 01:02.550
And the men of the place asked him of his
wife, and he said, She is my sister.

01:02.730 --> 01:05.030
For he feared to say, She is my wife.

01:05.330 --> 01:09.770
Lest, said he, the men of the place should
kill me for Rebekah, because she was fair

01:09.770 --> 01:10.490
to look upon.

01:10.770 --> 01:14.550
And it came to pass, when he had been
there a long time, that Abimelech king of

01:14.550 --> 01:18.450
the Philistines looked out at a window,
and saw, and behold, Isaac was sporting

01:18.450 --> 01:19.650
with Rebekah his wife.

01:19.650 --> 01:24.590
And Abimelech called Isaac, and said,
Behold of a surety, she is thy wife.

01:24.830 --> 01:27.130
And how saidst thou, She is my sister?

01:27.450 --> 01:31.330
And Isaac said unto him, Because I said,
Lest I die for her.

01:31.610 --> 01:35.270
And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast
done unto us?

01:35.590 --> 01:39.450
One of the people might lightly have line
with thy wife, and thou shouldst have

01:39.450 --> 01:40.790
brought guiltiness upon us.

01:41.050 --> 01:45.570
And Abimelech charged all his people,
saying, He that toucheth this man,

01:45.750 --> 01:48.790
or his wife, shall surely be put to death.

01:48.790 --> 01:52.610
Then Isaac sowed in that land,
and received in the same year an

01:52.610 --> 01:53.330
hundredfold.

01:53.870 --> 01:54.970
And the Lord blessed him.

01:55.350 --> 01:59.450
And the man waxed great, and went forward,
and grew until he became very great.

01:59.910 --> 02:03.470
For he had possession of flocks,
and possession of herds, and great store

02:03.470 --> 02:03.970
of servants.

02:04.630 --> 02:06.310
And the Philistines envied him.

02:06.630 --> 02:09.950
For all the wells which his father's
servants had digged in the days of Abraham

02:09.950 --> 02:13.950
his father, the Philistines had stopped
them, and filled them with earth.

02:14.350 --> 02:19.170
And Abimelech said unto Isaac,
Go from us, for thou art much mightier

02:19.170 --> 02:19.770
than we.

02:20.510 --> 02:24.670
And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his
tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt

02:24.670 --> 02:25.050
there.

02:25.410 --> 02:29.030
And Isaac digged again the wells of water
which they had digged in the days of

02:29.030 --> 02:30.050
Abraham his father.

02:30.410 --> 02:33.170
For the Philistines had stopped them after
the death of Abraham.

02:33.910 --> 02:37.490
And he called their names after the names
by which his father had called them.

02:37.910 --> 02:41.770
And Isaac's servants digged in the valley,
and found there a well of springing water.

02:42.270 --> 02:46.750
And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with
Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is

02:46.750 --> 02:47.430
ours.

02:47.870 --> 02:51.530
And he called the name of the well Isaac,
because they strove with him.

02:51.930 --> 02:54.470
And they digged another well, and strove
for that also.

02:54.990 --> 02:56.810
And he called the name of it Sidna.

02:57.430 --> 02:59.910
And he removed from thence, and digged
another well.

03:00.330 --> 03:01.930
And for that they strove not.

03:02.290 --> 03:04.650
And he called the name of it Rehoboth.

03:04.910 --> 03:09.850
And he said, For now the Lord hath made
room for us, and we shall be fruitful in

03:09.850 --> 03:10.350
the land.

03:10.570 --> 03:12.730
And he went up from thence to Beersheba.

03:12.730 --> 03:17.090
And the Lord appeared unto him the same
night, and said, I am the God of Abraham

03:17.090 --> 03:17.830
thy father.

03:18.750 --> 03:24.590
Fear not, for I am with thee, and will
bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my

03:24.590 --> 03:26.090
servant Abraham's sake.

03:26.390 --> 03:29.790
And he builded and altered there,
and called upon the name of the Lord,

03:30.130 --> 03:31.410
and pitched his tent there.

03:31.810 --> 03:33.950
And there Isaac's servants digged a well.

03:34.830 --> 03:39.210
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar,
and Ahazath one of his friends,

03:39.390 --> 03:41.490
and Phicol the chief captain of his army.

03:41.490 --> 03:46.690
And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come
ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent

03:46.690 --> 03:47.590
me away from you?

03:47.750 --> 03:51.570
And they said, We saw certainly that the
Lord was with thee.

03:52.030 --> 03:57.310
And we said, let there be now an oath
betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee,

03:57.650 --> 04:02.910
and let us make a covenant with thee,
that thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have

04:02.910 --> 04:08.170
not touched thee, and as we have done unto
thee nothing but good, and have sent thee

04:08.170 --> 04:09.070
away in peace.

04:09.770 --> 04:12.190
Thou art now the blessed of the Lord.

04:12.650 --> 04:15.210
And he made them a feast, and they did eat
and drink.

04:15.570 --> 04:18.970
And they rose up betimes in the morning,
and swear one to another.

04:19.250 --> 04:22.670
And Isaac sent them away, and they
departed from him in peace.

04:23.410 --> 04:27.250
And it came to pass the same day,
that Isaac's servants came, and told him

04:27.250 --> 04:31.750
concerning the well which they had digged,
and said unto him, We have found water.

04:32.070 --> 04:33.090
And he called it Sheba.

04:33.490 --> 04:36.690
Therefore the name of the city is
Beersheba unto this day.

04:37.330 --> 04:42.330
And Esau was forty years old when he took
to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the

04:42.330 --> 04:46.750
Hittite, and Bashamath the daughter of
Elon the Hittite, which were a grief of

04:46.750 --> 04:49.030
mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
