Genesis 26

Ishak di negeri orang Filistin
26:1 Maka timbullah kelaparan di negeri itu. -- Ini bukan kelaparan yang pertama, yang telah terjadi dalam zaman Abraham. Sebab itu Ishak pergi ke Gerar, kepada Abimelekh, raja orang Filistin. 26:2 Lalu TUHAN menampakkan diri kepadanya serta berfirman: "Janganlah pergi ke Mesir, diamlah di negeri yang akan Kukatakan kepadamu. 26:3 Tinggallah di negeri ini sebagai orang asing, maka Aku akan menyertai engkau dan memberkati engkau, sebab kepadamulah dan kepada keturunanmu akan Kuberikan seluruh negeri ini, dan Aku akan menepati sumpah yang telah Kuikrarkan kepada Abraham, ayahmu. 26:4 Aku akan membuat banyak keturunanmu seperti bintang di langit; Aku akan memberikan kepada keturunanmu seluruh negeri ini, dan oleh keturunanmu semua bangsa di bumi akan mendapat berkat, 26:5 karena Abraham telah mendengarkan firman-Ku dan memelihara kewajibannya kepada-Ku, yaitu segala perintah, ketetapan dan hukum-Ku." 26:6 Jadi tinggallah Ishak di Gerar. 26:7 Ketika orang-orang di tempat itu bertanya tentang isterinya, berkatalah ia: "Dia saudaraku," sebab ia takut mengatakan: "Ia isteriku," karena pikirnya: "Jangan-jangan aku dibunuh oleh penduduk tempat ini karena Ribka, sebab elok parasnya." 26:8 Setelah beberapa lama ia ada di sana, pada suatu kali menjenguklah Abimelekh, raja orang Filistin itu dari jendela, maka dilihatnya Ishak sedang bercumbu-cumbuan dengan Ribka, isterinya. 26:9 Lalu Abimelekh memanggil Ishak dan berkata: "Sesungguhnya dia isterimu, masakan engkau berkata: Dia saudaraku?" Jawab Ishak kepadanya: "Karena pikirku: Jangan-jangan aku mati karena dia." 26:10 Tetapi Abimelekh berkata: "Apakah juga yang telah kauperbuat ini terhadap kami? Mudah sekali terjadi, salah seorang dari bangsa ini tidur dengan isterimu, sehingga dengan demikian engkau mendatangkan kesalahan atas kami." 26:11 Lalu Abimelekh memberi perintah kepada seluruh bangsa itu: "Siapa yang mengganggu orang ini atau isterinya, pastilah ia akan dihukum mati." 26:12 Maka menaburlah Ishak di tanah itu dan dalam tahun itu juga ia mendapat hasil seratus kali lipat; sebab ia diberkati TUHAN. 26:13 Dan orang itu menjadi kaya, bahkan kian lama kian kaya, sehingga ia menjadi sangat kaya. 26:14 Ia mempunyai kumpulan kambing domba dan lembu sapi serta banyak anak buah, sehingga orang Filistin itu cemburu kepadanya. 26:15 Segala sumur, yang digali dalam zaman Abraham, ayahnya, oleh hamba-hamba ayahnya itu, telah ditutup oleh orang Filistin dan ditimbun dengan tanah. 26:16 Lalu kata Abimelekh kepada Ishak: "Pergilah dari tengah-tengah kami sebab engkau telah menjadi jauh lebih berkuasa dari pada kami." 26:17 Jadi pergilah Ishak dari situ dan berkemahlah ia di lembah Gerar, dan ia menetap di situ. 26:18 Kemudian Ishak menggali kembali sumur-sumur yang digali dalam zaman Abraham, ayahnya, dan yang telah ditutup oleh orang Filistin sesudah Abraham mati; disebutkannyalah nama sumur-sumur itu menurut nama-nama yang telah diberikan oleh ayahnya. 26:19 Ketika hamba-hamba Ishak menggali di lembah itu, mereka mendapati di situ mata air yang berbual-bual airnya. 26:20 Lalu bertengkarlah para gembala Gerar dengan para gembala Ishak. Kata mereka: "Air ini kepunyaan kami." Dan Ishak menamai sumur itu Esek, karena mereka bertengkar dengan dia di sana. 26:21 Kemudian mereka menggali sumur lain, dan mereka bertengkar juga tentang itu. Maka Ishak menamai sumur itu Sitna. 26:22 Ia pindah dari situ dan menggali sumur yang lain lagi, tetapi tentang sumur ini mereka tidak bertengkar. Sumur ini dinamainya Rehobot, dan ia berkata: "Sekarang TUHAN telah memberikan kelonggaran kepada kita, sehingga kita dapat beranak cucu di negeri ini." 26:23 Dari situ ia pergi ke Bersyeba. 26:24 Lalu pada malam itu TUHAN menampakkan diri kepadanya serta berfirman: "Akulah Allah ayahmu Abraham; janganlah takut, sebab Aku menyertai engkau; Aku akan memberkati engkau dan membuat banyak keturunanmu karena Abraham, hamba-Ku itu." 26:25 Sesudah itu Ishak mendirikan mezbah di situ dan memanggil nama TUHAN. Ia memasang kemahnya di situ, lalu hamba-hambanya menggali sumur di situ. 26:26 Datanglah Abimelekh dari Gerar mendapatkannya, bersama-sama dengan Ahuzat, sahabatnya, dan Pikhol, kepala pasukannya. 26:27 Tetapi kata Ishak kepada mereka: "Mengapa kamu datang mendapatkan aku? Bukankah kamu benci kepadaku, dan telah menyuruh aku keluar dari tanahmu?" 26:28 Jawab mereka: "Kami telah melihat sendiri, bahwa TUHAN menyertai engkau; sebab itu kami berkata: baiklah kita mengadakan sumpah setia, antara kami dan engkau; dan baiklah kami mengikat perjanjian dengan engkau, 26:29 bahwa engkau tidak akan berbuat jahat kepada kami, seperti kami tidak mengganggu engkau, dan seperti kami semata-mata berbuat baik kepadamu dan membiarkan engkau pergi dengan damai; bukankah engkau sekarang yang diberkati TUHAN." 26:30 Kemudian Ishak mengadakan perjamuan bagi mereka, lalu mereka makan dan minum. 26:31 Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi bersumpah-sumpahanlah mereka. Kemudian Ishak melepas mereka, dan mereka meninggalkan dia dengan damai. 26:32 Pada hari itu datanglah hamba-hamba Ishak memberitahukan kepadanya tentang sumur yang telah digali mereka, serta berkata kepadanya: "Kami telah mendapat air." 26:33 Lalu dinamainyalah sumur itu Syeba. Sebab itu nama kota itu adalah Bersyeba, sampai sekarang. 26:34 Ketika Esau telah berumur empat puluh tahun, ia mengambil Yudit, anak Beeri orang Het, dan Basmat, anak Elon orang Het, menjadi isterinya. 26:35 Kedua perempuan itu menimbulkan kepedihan hati bagi Ishak dan bagi Ribka.

1

There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
2

Yahweh appeared to him, and said, "Don't go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.
3

Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For to you, and to your seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.
4

I will multiply your seed as the stars of the sky, and will give to your seed all these lands. In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed,
5

because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."
6

Isaac lived in Gerar.
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

It happened, 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 caressing Rebekah, his wife.
9

Abimelech called Isaac, and said, "Behold, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister?'" Isaac said to him, "Because I said, 'Lest I die because of her.'"
10

Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!"
11

Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death."
12

Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. Yahweh blessed him.
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.
16

Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go from us, for you are much mightier than we."
17

Isaac departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.
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.
20

The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
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 Yahweh has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land."
23

He went up from there to Beersheba.
24

Yahweh appeared to him the same night, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father. Don't be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your seed for my servant Abraham's sake."
25

He built an altar there, and called on the name of Yahweh, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac's servants dug a well.
26

Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army.
27

Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?"
28

They said, "We saw plainly that Yahweh was with you. We said, 'Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you,
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 Yahweh."
30

He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
31

They rose up some time in the morning, and swore one to another. Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
32

It happened the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water."
33

He called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.
34

When Esau was forty years old, he took as wife Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
35

They grieved Isaac's and Rebekah's spirits.
