26 Por ndodhi një mungesë ushqimesh në vend, përveç asaj të parës që kishte ndodhur në kohën e Abrahamit. Pastaj Isaku shkoi tek Abimeleku, mbreti i Filistejve në Gerar.
2 Atëherë Zoti iu shfaq dhe i tha: "Mos zbrit në Egjipt, qëndro në vendin që do të të them.
3 Qëndro në këtë vend dhe unë do të jem me ty dhe do të të bekoj, sepse kam për të të dhënë ty dhe pasardhësve të tu tërë këto vende dhe do ta mbaj betimin që i kam bërë Abrahamit, babait tënd,
4 dhe do t’i shumoj pasardhësit e tu si yjet e qiellit; do t’u jap atyre tërë këto vende, dhe të gjitha kombet e tokës do të bekohen te pasardhësit e tu,
5 sepse Abrahami iu bind vullnetit tim dhe respektoi urdhërat, urdhërimet, statutet dhe ligjet e mia".
6 Kështu Isaku qëndroi në Gerar.
7 Kur njerëzit e vendit i bënin pyetje rreth gruas së tij, ai u përgjigjej: "Éshtë motra ime," sepse kishte frikë të thoshte: "Éshtë gruaja ime," sepse mendonte: "Njerëzit e vendit mund të më vrasin për shkak të Rebekës, sepse ajo është e pashme".
8 Kur kishte kaluar një kohë e gjatë në atë vend, Abimelekut, mbretit të Filistejve, i rastisi të shikojë nga dritarja dhe pa Isakun që përkëdhelte Rebekën, gruan e tij.
9 Atëherë Abimeleku thiri Isakun dhe i tha: "Ajo është me siguri gruaja jote; si bëhet që ti the: "Ajo është motra ime"?". Isaku iu përgjegj: "Sepse thoja: "Nuk do të doja të vdes për shkak të saj"".
10 Abimeleku tha: "Ç’është kjo që na bëre? Ndokush nga populli mund të binte lehtë në shtrat me gruan tënde dhe ti do të na kishe ngarkuar me faj të rëndë".
11 Kështu Abimeleku i dha këtë urdhër tërë popullit: "Kushdo që prek këtë njeri ose të shoqen do të dënohet pa tjetër me vdekje".
12 Isaku mbolli në atë vend dhe po atë vit korri një prodhim njëqind herë më të madh; dhe Zoti e bekoi.
13 Ky njeri u bë i madh dhe vazhdoi të rritet deri sa u bë jashtëzakonisht i madh.
14 Ai arriti të zotërojë kope dhënsh dhe qesh dhe kishte një numër të madh shërbëtorësh. Kështu Filistejtë e patën zili,
15 dhe për këtë arësye i zunë, duke i mbushur me dhe, tërë puset që shërbëtorët e babait të tij kishin hapur në kohën e Abrahamit, atit të tij.
16 Atëherë Abimeleku i tha Isakut: "Largohu nga ne, sepse ti je shumë më i fuqishëm se ne".
17 Kështu Isaku u largua që andej dhe u vendos në luginën e Gerarit, dhe aty banoi.
18 Dhe Isaku filloi të hapë puse uji që ishin hapur në kohën e Abrahamit, atit të tij, dhe që Filistejtë i kishin mbyllur mbas vdekjes së Abrahamit, dhe u vuri po ato emra që u kishte vënë babai i tij.
19 Pastaj shërbëtorët e Isakut gërmuan në luginë dhe gjetën aty një pus me ujë të freskët.
20 Por barinjtë e Gerarit u grindën me çobanët e Isakut, duke u thënë: Uji është ynii". Dhe ai e quajti pusin Esek, sepse ata e kishin kundërshtuar.
21 Shërbëtorët hapën pastaj një pus tjetër, por ata kundërshtuan edhe për këtë. Dhe Isaku e quajti Sitnah.
22 Atëherë ai u largua që andej dhe hapi një pus tjetër për të cilin nuk pati kundërshtim. Dhe ai e quajti atë Rehoboth, sepse ai tha: "Tani Zoti na ka vënë larg dhe ne do të kemi mbarësi në këtë vend".
23 Pastaj së këtejmi Isaku u ngjit në Beer-Sheba.
24 Dhe Zoti iu shfaq po atë natë dhe i tha: "Unë jam Perëndia i Abrahamit, babait tënd; mos ki frikë, sepse unë jam me ty; do të të bekoj dhe do të shumoj pasardhësit e tu, për hir të Abrahamit, shërbëtorit tim".
25 Atëherë ai ndërtoi në atë vend një altar dhe përmendi emrin e Zotit, dhe po aty ai ngriti edhe çadrën e tij. Aty shërbëtorët e Isakut hapën një pus.
26 Pastaj Abimeleku nga Gerari shkoi tek ai bashkë me Ahucathin, mikun e tij, dhe me Pikolin, kreun e ushtrisë së tij.
27 Dhe Isaku u tha atyre: "Pse keni ardhur tek unë, për deri sa më urreni dhe më keni larguar prej jush?".
28 Atëherë ata u përgjigjën: "Ne e pamë qartë që Zoti është me ty. Kështu thamë: "Le të bëjmë një betim midis nesh, midis nesh dhe teje, dhe të përfundojmë një aleancë me ty":
29 dhe kështu ti nuk do të na bësh asnjë të keqe, ashtu si ne nuk të kemi prekur, nuk të kemi bërë veçse të mira dhe të kemi lënë të ikësh në paqe. Ti je tani i bekuari i Zotit".
30 Kështu Isaku shtroi për ta një banket dhe ata hëngrën e pinë.
31 Të nesërmen në mëngjes u ngritën herët dhe shkëmbyen një betim. Pastaj Isaku i përcolli dhe ata ikën në paqe.
32 Po atë ditë ndodhi që shërbëtorët e Isakut erdhën për ta lajmëruar për pusin që kishin hapur duke i thënë: "Kemi gjetur ujë".
33 Dhe ai e quajti atë Shibah. Për këtë arësye qyteti mban emrin Beer-Sheba edhe sot e kësaj dite.
34 Në moshën dyzetvjeçare Esau mori për grua Juditin, të bijën e Beerit, Hiteut dhe të Basemathit, bijë e Elonit, Hiteut.
35 Këto u bënë shkas për një hidhërim të thellë të Isakut dhe të Rebekës.

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)

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.
