Genesis 26:23-35 ▼

23 And he went vp thence to Beer-seba.

24 And the Lorde appeared vnto hym the same night, and sayde: I am the God of Abraham thy father, feare not, for I am with thee, and wyl blesse thee and multiple thy seede for my seruaunt Abrahams sake.

25 And he builded an aulter there, and called vpon the name of the Lorde, and pitched his tent: and there Isahacs seruauntes dygged a well.

26 Then came Abimelech to him from Gerar, and Ahuzath his friende, and Phicol the captaine of his armie.

27 And Isahac sayde vnto them: wherfore come ye to me, seyng ye hate me, and haue put me away from you?

28 Whiche aunswered: We sawe most certainly that the Lord was with thee, and we sayde: let there be nowe an oth betwixt vs, euen betwixt vs and thee, and let vs make a league with thee:

29 That thou shouldest do vs no hurt, as we haue not touched thee, and as we haue done vnto thee nothyng but good, & sent thee away in peace: for thou art nowe the blessed of the Lorde.

30 And he made them a feast, and they dyd eate and drynke.

31 And they rose vp betymes in the mornyng, and sware one to another: And Isahac sent them away, and they departed from hym in peace.

32 And the same daye Isahacs seruauntes came and tolde hym of a well which they had dygged, and sayde vnto hym, we haue founde water.

33 And he called it Sebah: and the name of the citie is called Beer-seba vnto this day.

34 Esau was fourtie yere olde, & he toke a wyfe called Iudith, the daughter of Beeri an Hethite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon, an Hethite also.

35 Which were disobedient vnto Isahac and Rebecca.
