29 That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the Lord.

27 Isaac said to them, “(A)Why have you come to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?” 28 They said, “We have seen plainly (B)that the Lord has been with you; so we said, ‘An oath must now be taken [a]by us,’ that is, [b]by you and us. So let us make a covenant with you, 29 that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you [c]and have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace. You are now the (C)blessed of the Lord.”
