26 (11) And Avimelekh charged all his people, saying, He that touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.

(12) Then Yiżĥaq sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold: for the Lord blessed him.

(13) And the man grew great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:

(14) for he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great store of servants: and the Pelishtim envied him.

(15) For all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Avraham his father, the Pelishtim had stopped them up, and filled them with earth.

(16) And Avimelekh said to Yiżĥaq, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.

(17) And Yiżĥaq departed from there, and pitched in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

(18) And Yiżĥaq dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Avraham his father; for the Pelishtim had stopped them up after the death of Avraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.

(19) And Yiżĥaq’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

(20) And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Yiżĥaq’s herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well ῾Eseq; because they strove with him.

(21) And they dug another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitna.

(22) And he removed from there, and dug another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Reĥovot; and he said, For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

(23) And he went up from there to Be᾽er-sheva.

(24) And the Lord appeared to him the same night, and said, I am the God of Avraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for My servant Avraham’s sake.

(25) And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there: and there Yiżĥaq’s servants dug a well.

(26) Then Avimelekh went to him from Gerar, and Aĥuzzat his friend, and Pikhol the captain of his army.

(27) And Yiżĥaq said to them, Why do you come to me, seeing you hate me, and have sent me away from you?

(28) And they said, We saw indeed that the Lord was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath between us, between 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 to 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 early in the morning, and swore one to another: and Yiżĥaq sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

(32) And it came to pass the same day, that Yiżĥaq’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, We have found water.

(33) And he called it Shiv῾a: therefore the name of the city is Be᾽er-sheva to this day.

(34) And ῾Esav was forty years old when he took to wife Yehudit the daughter of Be᾽eri the Ḥittite, and Basemat the daughter of Elon the Ḥittite:

(35) and they were a grief of mind to Yiżĥaq and to Rivqa.

27 (1) And it came to pass, that when Yiżĥaq was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called ῾Esav his eldest son, and said to him, My son: and he said to him, Here I am.
