1 And there came to be a famine in the land, besides the first famine, which happened in the days of Abraham,––so Isaac went his way unto Abimelech, king of the Philistines, towards Gerar;
2 and Yahweh appeared unto him, and said, Do not go down towards Egypt,––Make thy habitation in the land, which I may name unto thee:
3 Sojourn in this land, that I may be with thee, and bless thee,––for, to thee, and to thy seed, will I give all these lands, So will I establish the oath which I sware to Abraham, thy father;
4 and will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and will give to thy seed, all these lands,––And all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves in thy seed:
5 Because that Abraham hearkened unto my voice,––and so kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes and my laws.

Isaac––laughing with Rebekah his wife. 9 So Abimelech called for Isaac, and said, But lo! she is, thy wife! How, then, saidst thou, She is, my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die on her account. 10 Then said Abimelech, What, is this, thou hast done to us?
