Isaac and Abimelek(A)
26 Now there was a famine in the land(B)—besides the previous famine in Abraham’s time—and Isaac went to Abimelek king of the Philistines(C) in Gerar.(D) 2 The Lord appeared(E) to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt;(F) live in the land where I tell you to live.(G) 3 Stay in this land for a while,(H) and I will be with you(I) and will bless you.(J) For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands(K) and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham.(L) 4 I will make your descendants(M) as numerous as the stars in the sky(N) and will give them all these lands,(O) and through your offspring[a] all nations on earth will be blessed,[b](P) 5 because Abraham obeyed me(Q) and did everything I required of him, keeping my commands, my decrees(R) and my instructions.(S)” 6 So Isaac stayed in Gerar.(T)
7 When the men of that place asked him about his wife, he said, “She is my sister,(U)” because he was afraid to say, “She is my wife.” He thought, “The men of this place might kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is beautiful.”
8 When Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelek king of the Philistines(V) looked down from a window and saw Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah. 9 So Abimelek summoned Isaac and said, “She is really your wife! Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?(W)”
Isaac answered him, “Because I thought I might lose my life on account of her.”
10 Then Abimelek said, “What is this you have done to us?(X) One of the men might well have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”
11 So Abimelek gave orders to all the people: “Anyone who harms(Y) this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.”(Z)
12 Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold,(AA) because the Lord blessed him.(AB) 13 The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy.(AC) 14 He had so many flocks and herds and servants(AD) that the Philistines envied him.(AE) 15 So all the wells(AF) that his father’s servants had dug in the time of his father Abraham, the Philistines stopped up,(AG) filling them with earth.
16 Then Abimelek said to Isaac, “Move away from us;(AH) you have become too powerful for us.(AI)”
17 So Isaac moved away from there and encamped in the Valley of Gerar,(AJ) where he settled. 18 Isaac reopened the wells(AK) that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the same names his father had given them.
19 Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water there. 20 But the herders of Gerar quarreled(AL) with those of Isaac and said, “The water is ours!”(AM) So he named the well Esek,[c] because they disputed with him. 21 Then they dug another well, but they quarreled(AN) over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.[d] 22 He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarreled over it. He named it Rehoboth,[e](AO) saying, “Now the Lord has given us room(AP) and we will flourish(AQ) in the land.”
23 From there he went up to Beersheba.(AR) 24 That night the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham.(AS) Do not be afraid,(AT) for I am with you;(AU) I will bless you and will increase the number of your descendants(AV) for the sake of my servant Abraham.”(AW)
25 Isaac built an altar(AX) there and called on the name of the Lord.(AY) There he pitched his tent, and there his servants dug a well.(AZ)
26 Meanwhile, Abimelek had come to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his personal adviser and Phicol the commander of his forces.(BA) 27 Isaac asked them, “Why have you come to me, since you were hostile to me and sent me away?(BB)”
28 They answered, “We saw clearly that the Lord was with you;(BC) so we said, ‘There ought to be a sworn agreement between us’—between us and you. Let us make a treaty(BD) with you 29 that you will do us no harm,(BE) just as we did not harm you but always treated you well and sent you away peacefully. And now you are blessed by the Lord.”(BF)
30 Isaac then made a feast(BG) for them, and they ate and drank. 31 Early the next morning the men swore an oath(BH) to each other. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they went away peacefully.
32 That day Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well(BI) they had dug. They said, “We’ve found water!” 33 He called it Shibah,[f] and to this day the name of the town has been Beersheba.[g](BJ)
Jacob Takes Esau’s Blessing
34 When Esau was forty years old,(BK) he married Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and also Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.(BL) 35 They were a source of grief to Isaac and Rebekah.(BM)

Isaac en Gerar
26 Después hubo hambre en la tierra, además de la primera hambre que hubo en los días de Abraham; y se fue Isaac a Abimelec rey de los filisteos, en Gerar. 2 Y se le apareció Jehová, y le dijo: No desciendas a Egipto; habita en la tierra que yo te diré. 3 Habita como forastero en esta tierra, y estaré contigo, y te bendeciré; porque a ti y a tu descendencia daré todas estas tierras, y confirmaré el juramento que hice a Abraham tu padre. 4 Multiplicaré tu descendencia como las estrellas del cielo, y daré a tu descendencia todas estas tierras; y todas las naciones de la tierra serán benditas en tu simiente,(A) 5 por cuanto oyó Abraham mi voz, y guardó mi precepto, mis mandamientos, mis estatutos y mis leyes.
6 Habitó, pues, Isaac en Gerar. 7 Y los hombres de aquel lugar le preguntaron acerca de su mujer; y él respondió: Es mi hermana;(B) porque tuvo miedo de decir: Es mi mujer; pensando que tal vez los hombres del lugar lo matarían por causa de Rebeca, pues ella era de hermoso aspecto. 8 Sucedió que después que él estuvo allí muchos días, Abimelec, rey de los filisteos, mirando por una ventana, vio a Isaac que acariciaba a Rebeca su mujer. 9 Y llamó Abimelec a Isaac, y dijo: He aquí ella es de cierto tu mujer. ¿Cómo, pues, dijiste: Es mi hermana? E Isaac le respondió: Porque dije: Quizá moriré por causa de ella. 10 Y Abimelec dijo: ¿Por qué nos has hecho esto? Por poco hubiera dormido alguno del pueblo con tu mujer, y hubieras traído sobre nosotros el pecado. 11 Entonces Abimelec mandó a todo el pueblo, diciendo: El que tocare a este hombre o a su mujer, de cierto morirá.
12 Y sembró Isaac en aquella tierra, y cosechó aquel año ciento por uno; y le bendijo Jehová. 13 El varón se enriqueció, y fue prosperado, y se engrandeció hasta hacerse muy poderoso. 14 Y tuvo hato de ovejas, y hato de vacas, y mucha labranza; y los filisteos le tuvieron envidia. 15 Y todos los pozos que habían abierto los criados de Abraham su padre en sus días, los filisteos los habían cegado y llenado de tierra. 16 Entonces dijo Abimelec a Isaac: Apártate de nosotros, porque mucho más poderoso que nosotros te has hecho.
17 E Isaac se fue de allí, y acampó en el valle de Gerar, y habitó allí. 18 Y volvió a abrir Isaac los pozos de agua que habían abierto en los días de Abraham su padre, y que los filisteos habían cegado después de la muerte de Abraham; y los llamó por los nombres que su padre los había llamado. 19 Pero cuando los siervos de Isaac cavaron en el valle, y hallaron allí un pozo de aguas vivas, 20 los pastores de Gerar riñeron con los pastores de Isaac, diciendo: El agua es nuestra. Por eso llamó el nombre del pozo Esek,[a] porque habían altercado con él. 21 Y abrieron otro pozo, y también riñeron sobre él; y llamó su nombre Sitna.[b] 22 Y se apartó de allí, y abrió otro pozo, y no riñeron sobre él; y llamó su nombre Rehobot,[c] y dijo: Porque ahora Jehová nos ha prosperado, y fructificaremos en la tierra.
23 Y de allí subió a Beerseba. 24 Y se le apareció Jehová aquella noche, y le dijo: Yo soy el Dios de Abraham tu padre; no temas, porque yo estoy contigo, y te bendeciré, y multiplicaré tu descendencia por amor de Abraham mi siervo. 25 Y edificó allí un altar, e invocó el nombre de Jehová, y plantó allí su tienda; y abrieron allí los siervos de Isaac un pozo.
26 Y Abimelec(C) vino a él desde Gerar, y Ahuzat, amigo suyo, y Ficol, capitán de su ejército. 27 Y les dijo Isaac: ¿Por qué venís a mí, pues que me habéis aborrecido, y me echasteis de entre vosotros? 28 Y ellos respondieron: Hemos visto que Jehová está contigo; y dijimos: Haya ahora juramento entre nosotros, entre tú y nosotros, y haremos pacto contigo, 29 que no nos hagas mal, como nosotros no te hemos tocado, y como solamente te hemos hecho bien, y te enviamos en paz; tú eres ahora bendito de Jehová. 30 Entonces él les hizo banquete, y comieron y bebieron. 31 Y se levantaron de madrugada, y juraron el uno al otro; e Isaac los despidió, y ellos se despidieron de él en paz. 32 En aquel día sucedió que vinieron los criados de Isaac, y le dieron nuevas acerca del pozo que habían abierto, y le dijeron: Hemos hallado agua. 33 Y lo llamó Seba; por esta causa el nombre de aquella ciudad es Beerseba hasta este día.
34 Y cuando Esaú era de cuarenta años, tomó por mujer a Judit hija de Beeri heteo, y a Basemat hija de Elón heteo; 35 y fueron amargura de espíritu para Isaac y para Rebeca.

Исхак и Рабига у Ави-Малика
26 В земле был голод, – не тот прежний голод, который был при Ибрахиме, – и Исхак пошёл к Ави-Малику, царю филистимлян, в Герар. 2 Вечный явился Исхаку и сказал:
– Не иди в Египет; живи на той земле, где Я скажу тебе жить. 3 Поселись на этой земле на время, и Я буду с тобой и благословлю тебя, потому что Я исполню клятву, которую дал твоему отцу Ибрахиму, и дам все эти земли тебе и твоим потомкам. 4 Я сделаю твоё потомство многочисленным, как звёзды на небе, и дам им все эти земли, и через твоё потомство[a] получат благословение все народы на земле, 5 потому что Ибрахим слушался Меня и хранил Мои повеления, заповеди, уставы и законы.
6 И Исхак поселился в Гераре. 7 Когда жители того места спросили у него о его жене, он сказал: «Это моя сестра», потому что боялся сказать: «Это моя жена». Он думал: «Жители этого места могут убить меня из-за Рабиги, потому что она красива».
8 Однажды, когда Исхак уже долгое время прожил там, Ави-Малик, царь филистимлян, выглянул из окна и увидел, как Исхак ласкает свою жену Рабигу. 9 Ави-Малик вызвал Исхака и сказал:
– Итак, она твоя жена! Почему же ты сказал: «Она моя сестра»?
Исхак ответил ему:
– Потому что я думал, что могу за неё поплатиться жизнью.
10 Тогда Ави-Малик сказал:
– Что же ты сделал с нами? Один из мужчин мог лечь с твоей женой, и ты навлёк бы на нас вину.
11 Ави-Малик приказал всему народу:
– Всякий, кто тронет этого человека или его жену, непременно будет предан смерти.
Спор с филистимлянами о колодцах
12 Исхак засеял поля в той земле и в тот же год собрал урожай стократно, и Вечный благословил его: 13 он разбогател, и состояние его всё росло, пока он не стал очень богатым. 14 У него были такие большие стада мелкого и крупного скота, и столько слуг, что филистимляне завидовали ему. 15 Они засыпали землёй все колодцы, которые ещё во времена его отца выкопали слуги отца его Ибрахима.
16 И Ави-Малик сказал Исхаку:
– Уходи от нас; ты стал слишком силён для нас.
17 Исхак ушёл оттуда, поселился в Герарской долине и обосновался там. 18 Исхак расчистил колодцы, которые были выкопаны во времена его отца Ибрахима, а затем засыпаны филистимлянами после его смерти, и дал им те же названия, какие прежде дал его отец.
19 Слуги Исхака стали копать в долине и открыли там колодец с родниковой водой, 20 но герарские пастухи затеяли ссору с пастухами Исхака, говоря: «Это наша вода!» Исхак назвал колодец Есек («спор»), потому что они спорили с ним. 21 Потом они выкопали другой колодец, но и из-за него вышла ссора, поэтому он назвал его Ситна («вражда»). 22 Он ушёл оттуда и выкопал ещё один колодец, из-за которого ссоры не было, и он назвал его Реховот («просторные места»), говоря: «Теперь Вечный дал нам место, и мы умножимся в этой земле».
23 Он направился оттуда в Беэр-Шеву. 24 В ту ночь Вечный явился ему и сказал:
– Я – Бог твоего отца Ибрахима. Не бойся, потому что Я с тобой; Я благословлю тебя и увеличу число твоих потомков ради Моего раба Ибрахима.
25 Исхак построил там жертвенник и призвал имя Вечного, и поставил там шатёр, а его слуги выкопали колодец.
26 Ави-Малик пришёл к нему из Герара вместе с Ахуззатом, своим личным советником, и Фихолом, начальником его войска. 27 Исхак спросил их:
– Зачем вы пришли, ведь вы были враждебны ко мне и прогнали меня?
28 Они ответили:
– Теперь нам ясно, что с тобой Вечный, и мы решили: у нас должно быть клятвенное соглашение, между нами и тобой. Давай заключим договор, 29 что ты не причинишь нам вреда, как и мы не тронули тебя, но всегда обходились с тобой хорошо и отпустили тебя с миром. А теперь ты благословлён Вечным.
30 Исхак устроил для них пир, и они ели и пили. 31 На другой день рано утром они дали друг другу клятву; Исхак простился с ними, и они ушли от него с миром.
32 В тот же день слуги Исхака пришли и рассказали ему о колодце, который они выкопали. Они сказали:
– Мы нашли воду!
33 Он назвал его Шева («клятва»), и до сего дня имя этого города – Беэр-Шева («колодец клятвы», «колодец семи»).
Жёны Есава
34 Когда Есаву было сорок лет, он женился на Иегудифи, дочери хетта Беэри, и на Басемафе, дочери хетта Елона; 35 и от них было много огорчения Исхаку и Рабиге.

The Voice
26 Once again, a famine spread through the land, similar to the one that occurred in Abraham’s time. Isaac went to the land of Gerar to appeal to King Abimelech of the Philistines. 2 The Eternal appeared in a vision to Isaac.
Eternal One: Don’t go down to Egypt, Isaac. Instead settle in the land I will show you. 3 Live in this land as a foreigner, but don’t worry. I will be there with you. I will put a blessing on you, and I will one day bestow this land on you and your descendants. You can be assured that I will honor the solemn vow I made to your father, Abraham: 4 I will make your children and their children’s children as numerous as the stars in the sky. One day I will give them all of these lands. Through your descendants all the peoples of the earth will discover true blessing,[a] 5 because Abraham obeyed My voice, stayed loyal to Me, and kept My commands, statutes, and teachings.[b]
6 So Isaac settled into the land of Gerar. 7 When the men of the area asked him about his wife, he was afraid to say, “Rebekah is my wife,” because he thought, “The men here might kill me in order to have her for themselves. She is after all an attractive woman.” So Isaac said instead, “She is my sister.” 8 After they had lived there for a while, King Abimelech of the Philistines looked out of his window one day and saw Isaac affectionately touching and caressing his wife Rebekah. 9 So Abimelech called Isaac to his court.
Abimelech: I see that she is your wife! Why did you say then, “She is my sister”?
Isaac: Because I thought I might die because of her!
Abimelech: 10 What’s the matter with you? What have you done to us? One of my people might easily have slept with your wife. Then you would have brought great shame and guilt upon me and my kingdom!
11 (warning his people) Whoever so much as touches this man or his wife will be put to death.
Isaac repeats the ruse his father used in Egypt and Gerar many years earlier. Abraham told another Abimelech (likely the father or grandfather of this Philistine king) that Sarah was his sister to avoid being killed. Isaac tries the same trick for the same reason but is soon found out. Many rulers in that day would have killed or severely punished a man for telling such tales and jeopardizing their reign. Somehow, however, Abraham and Isaac not only survive, but they grow rich from the experiences.
12 Isaac settled in and made a place for himself in the land, sowing seeds and reaping one hundred times what he had planted that year. The Eternal One indeed put a blessing on him, 13 and Isaac became very rich. He prospered more and more until he became enormously wealthy. 14 He had so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines began to envy him. 15 (For spite, some of the Philistines filled with dirt all of the wells his father’s servants had dug in the days when Abraham was living there.) 16 Even Abimelech was threatened by his prosperity.
Abimelech (to Isaac): It is best you leave our land. Your success has made you more powerful than we are. You can’t live here any longer.
17 Isaac left there, set up camp in the valley of Gerar, and decided to live there for a while.
18 Isaac had to re-dig all of the water wells that his father had installed because the Philistines had filled them in after Abraham’s death. He renamed them with the names his father had given them. 19 But when Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a new well of fresh water, 20 the herders of Gerar began quarreling with Isaac’s herders.
Herders of Gerar: This water is ours!
So Isaac named this well Esek, which means “contention,” because of the arguments he had with the herders. 21 Isaac’s men dug another well, and the water wars started again. So Isaac called it Sitnah, which means “enmity.” 22 Isaac didn’t want any more trouble, so he moved on from there and dug yet another well. At last, they didn’t quarrel over this one, so Isaac named this well Rehoboth, which means “wide spaces.”
Isaac (explaining): Now the Eternal One has provided this wide space for us. We will become numerous and prosperous in this land.
23 From there, Isaac traveled to Beersheba. 24 The night they arrived, the Eternal One appeared to him.
Eternal One: I am the God of your father, Abraham. Don’t be afraid because I am there with you. I will bless you with many descendants according to the promise I made to My servant, Abraham.
25 Inspired by this vision, Isaac built an altar at that place. He invoked the name of the Eternal and sacrificed to Him there, pitched his tent, and directed his servants to dig a well.
26 One day Abimelech came from Gerar to see him along with Ahuzzath, his advisor, and Phicol, the commander of his army.
Isaac: 27 Why are you coming to see me? You made it clear that you hate me and want me banished from your kingdom.
Abimelech and His Advisors: 28 It is not hard to see that the Eternal One is with you. So we agreed among ourselves that it is in our best interests for us to enter into a binding treaty with you. Let us make a covenant 29 that you would pledge to do us no harm, just as we have not harmed you. We have behaved honorably toward you and sent you away in peace. You clearly have the hand of the Eternal resting on you.
Isaac agreed to take the oath. 30 He prepared them a feast, and they all ate and drank. 31 In the morning, they got up early and exchanged oaths. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left in peace. 32 That very same day, Isaac’s servants came and excitedly told him about a new well they had dug.
Servants: We found water!
33 Isaac named this well Shibah, which means “oath,” and that’s why the name of the city there is called Beersheba to this day.
34 Meanwhile Esau (Isaac’s son) was turning 40. He married Judith (the daughter of Beeri the Hittite) and also Basemath (the daughter of Elon the Hittite). 35 They would make life miserable for Isaac and Rebekah.
