יהוה had appeared to him and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; stay in the land which I point out to you.

I will make your heirs as numerous as the stars of heaven, and assign to your heirs all these lands, so that all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves by your heirs—
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.4", "ref": "Genesis 26:4", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 11089.37461067661 }
inasmuch as Abraham obeyed Me and kept My charge: My commandments, My laws, and My teachings."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.5", "ref": "Genesis 26:5", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 39473.10961249395 }
So Isaac stayed in Gerar.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.6", "ref": "Genesis 26:6", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 19989.871270393614 }
When the local leaders * local leaders Or "locals." Heb. 'anshe ha-maqom ; NJPS "the men of the place." Cf., e.g., Gen. 34.20; Judg. 8.15–17. See the Dictionary under 'ish . asked him about his wife, he said, "She is my sister," for he was afraid to say "my wife," thinking, "The local leaders might kill me on account of Rebekah, for she is beautiful."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.7", "ref": "Genesis 26:7", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 16222.978792147711 }
When some time had passed, Abimelech king of the Philistines, looking out of the window, saw Isaac fondling his wife Rebekah.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.8", "ref": "Genesis 26:8", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 12179.971066569933 }
Abimelech sent for Isaac and said, "So she is your wife! Why then did you say: ‘She is my sister'?" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought I might lose my life on account of her."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.9", "ref": "Genesis 26:9", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4413.040741582697 }
Abimelech said, "What have you done to us! One of the men * men NJPS "people." See the Dictionary under ‘am . might have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.10", "ref": "Genesis 26:10", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4633.332606445256 }
Abimelech then charged all the people, saying, "Anyone who molests this man or his wife shall be put to death."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.11", "ref": "Genesis 26:11", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4322.262072759054 }
Isaac sowed in that land and reaped a hundredfold the same year. יהוה blessed him,
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.12", "ref": "Genesis 26:12", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 34370.98446115445 }
and the man grew richer and richer until he was very wealthy:
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.13", "ref": "Genesis 26:13", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 14152.153567184567 }
he acquired flocks and herds, and a large household, so that the Philistines envied him.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.14", "ref": "Genesis 26:14", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 5272.763062535889 }
And the Philistines stopped up all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham, filling them with earth.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.15", "ref": "Genesis 26:15", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 10097.201877878948 }
And Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go away from us, for you have become far too big for us."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.16", "ref": "Genesis 26:16", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 6255.504279243213 }
So Isaac departed from there and encamped in the wadi of Gerar, where he settled.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.17", "ref": "Genesis 26:17", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 6565.9092612787745 }
Isaac dug anew the wells which had been dug in the days of his father Abraham and which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham's death; and he gave them the same names that his father had given them.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.18", "ref": "Genesis 26:18", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 25583.55430263754 }
But when Isaac's servants, digging in the wadi, found there a well of spring water,
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.19", "ref": "Genesis 26:19", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 8392.149725346031 }
the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." He named that well Esek, * Esek I.e., "contention." because they contended with him.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.20", "ref": "Genesis 26:20", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 6895.087120479002 }
And when they dug another well, they disputed over that one also; so he named it Sitnah. * Sitnah I.e., "harassment."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.21", "ref": "Genesis 26:21", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4765.080160720304 }
He moved from there and dug yet another well, and they did not quarrel over it; so he called it Rehoboth, saying, "Now at last יהוה has granted us ample space * ample space Heb. hirhib , connected with "Rehoboth." to increase in the land."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.22", "ref": "Genesis 26:22", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7938.0183462584955 }
From there he went up to Beer-sheba.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.23", "ref": "Genesis 26:23", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 16597.576041526445 }
That night יהוה appeared to him and said, "I am the God of your father Abraham's [house]. Fear not, for I am with you, and I will bless you and increase your offspring for the sake of My servant Abraham."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.24", "ref": "Genesis 26:24", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 11564.323601539692 }
So he built an altar there and invoked יהוה by name. Isaac pitched his tent there and his servants started digging a well.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.25", "ref": "Genesis 26:25", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 5302.787581130093 }
And Abimelech came to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his councilor and Phicol chief of his troops.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.26", "ref": "Genesis 26:26", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7967.59044729699 }
Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, seeing that you have been hostile to me and have driven me away from you?"
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.27", "ref": "Genesis 26:27", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4237.144907760727 }
And they said, "We now see plainly that יהוה has been with you, and we thought: Let there be a sworn treaty between our two parties, between you and us. Let us make a pact with you
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.28", "ref": "Genesis 26:28", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 5371.7639788923125 }
that you will not do us harm, just as we have not molested you but have always dealt kindly with you and sent you away in peace. From now on, be you blessed of יהוה !"
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.29", "ref": "Genesis 26:29", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4953.080452280625 }
Then he made for them a feast, and they ate and drank.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.30", "ref": "Genesis 26:30", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 10846.878574300077 }
Early in the morning, they exchanged oaths. Isaac then bade them farewell, and they departed from him in peace.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.31", "ref": "Genesis 26:31", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4331.485392383893 }
That same day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water!"
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.32", "ref": "Genesis 26:32", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 3905.7849533818444 }
He named it Shibah; * Shibah As though "oath." therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.33", "ref": "Genesis 26:33", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4149.731743213451 }
When Esau was forty years old, he took to wife Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite;
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.34", "ref": "Genesis 26:34", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 61426.21421031421 }
and they were a source of bitterness to Isaac and Rebekah.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.26.35", "ref": "Genesis 26:35", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 8729.745002049287 }
When Isaac was old and his eyes were too dim to see, he called his older son Esau and said to him, "My son." He answered, "Here I am."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.1", "ref": "Genesis 27:1", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 582599.6863316863 }
And he said, "I am old now, and I do not know how soon I may die.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.2", "ref": "Genesis 27:2", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 25614.669469360113 }
Take your gear, your quiver and bow, and go out into the open and hunt me some game.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.3", "ref": "Genesis 27:3", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 33814.79463632951 }
Then prepare a dish for me such as I like, and bring it to me to eat, so that I may give you my innermost blessing before I die."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.4", "ref": "Genesis 27:4", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 36653.076066633985 }
Rebekah had been listening as Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau had gone out into the open to hunt game to bring home,
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.5", "ref": "Genesis 27:5", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 71052.5119907879 }
Rebekah said to her son Jacob, "I overheard your father speaking to your brother Esau, saying,
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.6", "ref": "Genesis 27:6", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 46016.78977373105 }
‘Bring me some game and prepare a dish for me to eat, that I may bless you, with יהוה's approval, before I die.'
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.7", "ref": "Genesis 27:7", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 29174.210620123256 }
Now, my son, listen carefully as I instruct you.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.8", "ref": "Genesis 27:8", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 30226.121791954887 }
Go to the flock and fetch me two choice kids, and I will make of them a dish for your father, such as he likes.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.9", "ref": "Genesis 27:9", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 37488.72862740252 }
Then take it to your father to eat, in order that he may bless you before he dies."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.10", "ref": "Genesis 27:10", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 20452.430976142074 }
Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, "But my brother Esau is a hairy man and I am smooth-skinned.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.11", "ref": "Genesis 27:11", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 53353.57695937774 }
If my father touches me, I shall appear to him as a trickster and bring upon myself a curse, not a blessing."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.12", "ref": "Genesis 27:12", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 37138.27138885693 }
But his mother said to him, "Your curse, my son, be upon me! Just do as I say and go fetch them for me."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.13", "ref": "Genesis 27:13", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 34146.75770936563 }
He got them and brought them to his mother, and his mother prepared a dish such as his father liked.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.14", "ref": "Genesis 27:14", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 31559.180012821445 }
Rebekah then took the best clothes of her older son Esau, which were there * there Or "in her charge"—an acknowledgment of authority; Heb. 'itah , lit. "with her." in the house, and had her younger son Jacob put them on;
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.15", "ref": "Genesis 27:15", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 66649.49398092962 }
and she covered his hands and the hairless part of his neck with the skins of the kids.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.16", "ref": "Genesis 27:16", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 25071.78991431084 }
Then she put in the hands of her son Jacob the dish and the bread that she had prepared.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.17", "ref": "Genesis 27:17", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 23947.152350252563 }
He went to his father and said, "Father." And he said, "Yes, which of my sons are you?"
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.18", "ref": "Genesis 27:18", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 98685.56687117254 }
Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau, your first-born; I have done as you told me. Pray sit up and eat of my game, that you may give me your innermost blessing."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.19", "ref": "Genesis 27:19", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 52972.41027926432 }
Isaac said to his son, "How did you succeed so quickly, my son?" And he said, "Because your God יהוה granted me good fortune."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.20", "ref": "Genesis 27:20", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 29217.060797522063 }
Isaac said to Jacob, "Come closer that I may feel you, my son—whether you are really my son Esau or not."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.21", "ref": "Genesis 27:21", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 45404.11822275593 }
So Jacob drew close to his father Isaac, who felt him and wondered. "The voice is the voice of Jacob, yet the hands are the hands of Esau."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.22", "ref": "Genesis 27:22", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 80426.46743172928 }
He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; and so he blessed him.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.23", "ref": "Genesis 27:23", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 32314.851564824687 }
He asked, "Are you really my son Esau?" And when he said, "I am,"
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.24", "ref": "Genesis 27:24", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 31747.01789500665 }
he said, "Serve me and let me eat of my son's game that I may give you my innermost blessing." So he served him and he ate, and he brought him wine and he drank.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.25", "ref": "Genesis 27:25", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 26236.7022037106 }
Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come close and kiss me, my son";
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.26", "ref": "Genesis 27:26", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 36051.31595902492 }
and he went up and kissed him. And he smelled his clothes and he blessed him, saying, "Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of the fields that יהוה has blessed.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.27.27", "ref": "Genesis 27:27", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 65701.41731356776 }
