- 6So Isaac went on living in Gerar;
- 7And when he was questioned by the men of the place about his wife, he said, She is my sister; fearing to say, She is my wife; for, he said, the men of the place may put me to death on account of Rebekah; because she is very beautiful.

- 11And Abimelech gave orders to his people that anyone touching Isaac or his wife was to be put to death.
- 12Now Isaac, planting seed in that land, got in the same year fruit a hundred times as much, for the blessing of the Lord was on him.
- 13And his wealth became very great, increasing more and more;
- 14For he had great wealth of flocks and herds and great numbers of servants; so that the Philistines were full of envy.
- 15Now all the water-holes, which his father's servants had made in the days of Abraham, had been stopped up with earth by the Philistines.

- 16And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you are stronger than we are.
- 17So Isaac went away from there, and put up his tents in the valley of Gerar, making his living-place there.
- 18And he made again the water-holes which had been made in the days of Abraham his father, and which had been stopped up by the Philistines; and he gave them the names which his father had given them.
