Genesis 26
2 - The LORD appeared to him, and said, "Don't go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.
7 - The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, "She is my sister," for he was afraid to say, "My wife", lest, he thought, "the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to look at."
8 - When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife.
13 - The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great.
14 - He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.
15 - Now all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.
18 - Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father. For the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. He called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19 - Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
21 - They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name Sitnah.
22 - He left that place, and dug another well. They didn't argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land."
23 - He went up from there to Beersheba.
29 - that you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace.' You are now the blessed of The LORD."
30 - He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
