Genesis 26
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
26 At nagkagutom sa lupain, bukod sa unang pagkakagutom na nangyari ng mga araw ni Abraham. At naparoon si Isaac kay Abimelech, na hari ng mga Filisteo sa Gerar.
2 At napakita ang Panginoon sa kaniya, at nagsabi, Huwag kang bumaba sa Egipto; matira ka sa lupaing aking sasabihin sa iyo:
3 Matira ka sa lupaing ito, at ako'y sasa iyo, at ikaw ay aking pagpapalain; sapagka't sa iyo at sa iyong binhi ay ibibigay ko ang lahat ng lupaing ito, at pagtitibayin ko ang sumpang aking isinumpa kay Abraham na iyong ama;
4 At aking pararamihin ang iyong binhi na gaya ng mga bituin sa langit, at ibibigay ko sa iyong binhi ang lahat ng lupaing ito: at pagpapalain sa iyong binhi ang lahat ng bansa sa lupa;
5 Sapagka't sinunod ni Abraham ang aking tinig, at ginanap ang aking bilin, ang aking mga utos, ang aking mga palatuntunan at ang aking mga kautusan.
6 At tumahan si Isaac sa Gerar.
7 At tinanong siya ng mga taong tagaroon tungkol sa kaniyang asawa; at sinabi niya, Siya'y aking kapatid; sapagka't natakot na sabihin, Siya'y aking asawa: baka ako'y patayin, aniya, ng mga taong tagarito, dahil kay Rebeca; dahil sa siya'y may magandang anyo.
8 At nangyari nang siya'y naroong mahabang panahon, na dumungaw si Abimelech, na hari ng mga Filisteo sa isang durungawan, at tumingin, at narito't si Isaac ay nakikipaglaro kay Rebeca na kaniyang asawa.
9 At tinawag ni Abimelech si Isaac, at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Narito, tunay na siya'y iyong asawa: at bakit sinabi mo, Siya'y aking kapatid? At sumagot sa kaniya si Isaac, Sapagka't sinabi ko, Baka ako'y mamatay dahil sa kaniya.
10 At sinabi ni Abimelech, Ano itong ginawa mo sa amin? hindi malayong ang sinoman sa bayan ay nakasiping sa iyong asawa, at sa gayon ay pinapagkasala mo kami.
11 At ibinilin ni Abimelech sa buong bayan, na sinabi, Ang gumalaw sa lalaking ito o sa kaniyang asawa ay tunay na papatayin.
12 At si Isaac ay naghasik sa lupaing yaon, at umani siya ng taong yaon, ng tigisang daan at pinagpala siya ng Panginoon.
13 At naging dakila ang lalake at lalo't lalong naging dakila hanggang sa naging totoong dakila.
14 At siya'y may tinatangkilik na mga kawan, at mga tinatangkilik na mga bakahan, at malaking sangbahayan: at kinainggitan siya ng mga Filisteo.
15 Lahat ng mga balon ngang hinukay ng mga bataan ng kaniyang ama, nang mga kaarawan ni Abraham na kaniyang ama, ay pinagtabunan ng mga Filisteo, na mga pinuno ng lupa.
16 At sinabi ni Abimelech kay Isaac; Humiwalay ka sa amin, sapagka't ikaw ay makapupong matibay kay sa amin.
17 At umalis si Isaac doon, at humantong sa libis ng Gerar, at tumahan doon.
18 At muling hinukay ni Isaac ang mga balon ng tubig na kanilang hinukay nang mga kaarawan ni Abraham na kaniyang ama; sapagka't pinagtabunan ng mga Filisteo, pagkamatay ni Abraham: at kaniyang mga pinanganlan ng ayon sa mga pangalang inilagay ng kaniyang ama.
19 At humukay sa libis ang mga bataan ni Isaac, at nangakasumpong doon ng isang balon ng tubig na bumubukal.
20 At nakipagtalo ang mga pastor ni Gerar sa mga pastor ni Isaac, na sinasabi, Amin ang tubig; at kaniyang tinawag ang pangalan ng balon, na Esec; sapagka't ipinakipagkaalit sa kaniya.
21 At sila'y humukay ng ibang balon; at kanilang pinagtalunan din: at kaniyang tinawag ang pangalan na Sitnah.
22 At bumunot siya roon, at humukay ng ibang balon; at hindi nila pinagtalunan: at kaniyang tinawag ang pangalan na Rehoboth; at kaniyang sinabi, Sapagka't ngayo'y binigyan tayo ng Panginoon ng kaluwagan, at lalago tayo sa lupain.
23 At mula roon ay umahon siya sa Beerseba.
24 At napakita sa kaniya ang Panginoon ng gabi ring yaon, at nagsabi, Ako ang Dios ni Abraham na iyong ama: huwag kang matakot, sapagka't ako'y sumasaiyo, at ikaw ay aking pagpapalain, at aking pararamihin ang iyong binhi, alangalang kay Abraham na aking lingkod.
25 At si Isaac ay nagtayo roon ng isang dambana, at kaniyang sinambitla ang pangalan ng Panginoon, at itinindig niya roon ang kaniyang tolda: at humukay roon ang mga bataan ni Isaac ng isang balon.
26 Nang magkagayo'y si Abimelech ay naparoon sa kaniya mula sa Gerar, at si Ahuzath na kaniyang kaibigan, at si Phicol na kapitan ng kaniyang hukbo.
27 At sinabi sa kanila ni Isaac, Bakit kayo naparirito sa akin, dangang kayo'y nangapopoot sa akin at pinalayas ninyo ako sa inyo?
28 At sinabi nila, Malinaw na aming nakita, na ang Panginoon ay sumasaiyo: at aming sinabi, Magkaroon ng pagsusumpaan tayo, kami at ikaw at makipagtipan kami sa iyo:
29 Na hindi ka gagawa sa amin ng masama, gaya naman namin na hindi ka namin ginalaw, at wala kaming ginawa sa iyong di mabuti, at pinayaon ka naming payapa: ikaw ngayon ang pinagpala ng Panginoon.
30 At pinaghandaan niya sila, at sila'y nagkainan at naginuman.
31 At sila'y gumising ng madaling araw, at sila'y nagpanumpaan: at sila'y pinagpaalam ni Isaac, at nagsialis na payapa sa kaniya.
32 At nangyari, nang araw ding yaon, na nagsidating ang mga bataan ni Isaac, at siya'y binalitaan tungkol sa balon nilang hinukay, at sinabi sa kaniya, Nakasumpong kami ng tubig.
33 At tinawag niyang Seba: kaya't ang pangalan ng bayang yaon ay Beerseba hanggang ngayon.
34 At nang si Esau ay may apat na pung taon ay nagasawa kay Judit, na anak ni Beeri na Heteo, at kay Basemat na anak ni Elon na Heteo:
35 At sila'y nakasama ng loob kay Isaac at kay Rebeca.

The Promise Reaffirmed to Isaac
26 There was another famine in the land in addition to the one that had occurred in Abraham’s time.(A) And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, at Gerar.(B) 2 The Lord appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Live in the land that I tell you about; 3 stay in this land as a foreigner, and I will be with you and bless you.(C) For I will give all these lands to you and your offspring,(D) and I will confirm the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.(E) 4 I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky, I will give your offspring all these lands, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed[a] by your offspring,(F) 5 because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My mandate, My commands, My statutes, and My instructions.”(G) 6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.
Isaac’s Deception
7 When the men of the place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister,”(H) for he was afraid to say “my wife,” thinking,(I) “The men of the place will kill me on account of Rebekah, for she is a beautiful woman.”(J) 8 When Isaac had been there for some time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down from the window and was surprised to see[b] Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.
9 Abimelech sent for Isaac and said, “So she is really your wife! How could you say, ‘She is my sister’?”
Isaac answered him, “Because I thought I might die on account of her.”
10 Then Abimelech said, “What is this you’ve done to us? One of the people could easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us.”(K) 11 So Abimelech warned all the people with these words: “Whoever harms this man or his wife will certainly die.”
Conflicts over Wells
12 Isaac sowed seed in that land, and in that year he reaped[c] a hundred times what was sown. The Lord blessed him,(L) 13 and the man became rich and kept getting richer until he was very wealthy. 14 He had flocks of sheep, herds of cattle, and many slaves, and the Philistines were envious of him. 15 The Philistines stopped up all the wells that his father’s slaves had dug in the days of his father Abraham,(M) filling them with dirt. 16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Leave us, for you are much too powerful for us.”[d]
17 So Isaac left there, camped in the Valley of Gerar, and lived there. 18 Isaac reopened the water wells that had been dug in the days of his father Abraham and that the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died. He gave them the same names his father had given them. 19 Then Isaac’s slaves dug in the valley and found a well of spring[e] water there. 20 But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen and said, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Quarrel[f] because they quarreled with him.(N) 21 Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also, so he named it Hostility.[g] 22 He moved from there and dug another, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Open Spaces[h] and said, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
The Lord Appears to Isaac
23 From there he went up to Beer-sheba, 24 and the Lord appeared to him that night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham.(O) Do not be afraid, for I am with you.(P) I will bless you and multiply your offspring because of My servant Abraham.”
25 So he built an altar there,(Q) called on the name of Yahweh, and pitched his tent there. Isaac’s slaves also dug a well there.(R)
Covenant with Abimelech
26 Now Abimelech came to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.(S) 27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me? You hated me and sent me away from you.”
28 They replied, “We have clearly seen how the Lord has been with you. We think there should be an oath between two parties—between us and you. Let us make a covenant with you: 29 You will not harm us, just as we have not harmed you but have only done what was good to you, sending you away in peace. You are now blessed by the Lord.”(T)
30 So he prepared a banquet for them, and they ate and drank. 31 They got up early in the morning and swore an oath to each other.[i](U) Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left him in peace. 32 On that same day Isaac’s slaves came to tell him about the well they had dug, saying to him, “We have found water!”(V) 33 He called it Sheba.[j] Therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba[k](W) to this day.
Esau’s Wives
34 When Esau was 40 years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.(X) 35 They made life bitter[l] for Isaac and Rebekah.(Y)

King James Version
26 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
2 And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.
13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
15 For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
20 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
23 And he went up from thence to Beersheba.
24 And the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
25 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well.
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
28 And they said, We saw certainly that the Lord was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
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.
30 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
31 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.
33 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day.
34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
35 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
