AND there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Avraham. And Yitschaq went unto Aviymelek king of the Pelishtiym unto Gerar.
And Yahuah appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Mitsrayim; dwell in the land which I shall tell you of:
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you; for unto you, and unto your seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore unto Avraham your father;
And I will make your seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto your seed את all these countries; and in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
Because that Avraham obeyed my voice, and did guard my watch, my commandments, my statutes, and my Torah.
And Yitschaq dwelt in Gerar:
And the men of the place asked him of his woman; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my woman; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rivqah; because she was fair to look upon.
And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Aviymelek king of the Pelishtiym looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Yitschaq was sporting with את Rivqah his woman.
And Aviymelek called Yitschaq, and said, Behold, of a surety she is your woman: and how said you, She is my sister? And Yitschaq said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
And Aviymelek said, What is this you have done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with your woman, and you should have brought guiltiness upon us.
And Aviymelek charged all his people, saying, He that touches this man or his woman shall surely be put to death.
Then Yitschaq sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold: and Yahuah blessed him.
And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Pelishtiym envied him.
For all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Avraham his father, the Pelishtiym had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
And Aviymelek said unto El-Yitschaq, Go from us; for you are much mightier than we.
And Yitschaq departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
And Yitschaq dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Avraham his father; for the Pelishtiym had stopped them after the death of Avraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
And Yitschaq's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
And the herdsmen of Gerar did strive with Yitschaq's herdsmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
And they dug another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
And he removed from thence, and dug another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rechovoth; and he said, For now Yahuah has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
And he went up from thence to Be'er Sheva.
And Yahuah appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the Elohai of Avraham your father: fear not, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your seed for my servant Avraham's sake.
And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of Yahuah, and pitched his tent there: and there Yitschaq's servants dug a well.
Then Aviymelek went to him from Gerar, and Achuzzath one of his friends, and Piykol the chief captain of his army.
And Yitschaq said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
And they said, We saw certainly that Yahuah was with you: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and you, and let us cut a covenant with you;
That you will do us no hurt, as we have not touched you, and as we have done unto you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace: you are now the blessed of Yahuah.
And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
And they rose up early in the morning, and swore one to another: and Yitschaq sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
And it came to pass the same day, that Yitschaq's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said unto him, We have found water.
And he called it Shev'ah: therefore the name of the city is Be'er Sheva unto this day.
And Esau was forty years old when he took to be his woman Yahudith the daughter of Be'eriy the Chittiy, and Basmath the daughter of Eylon the Chittiy:
Which were a grief of mind unto Yitschaq and to Rivqah.
