Genesis 26:6-15
-
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.
