8. And it came to pass, 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 sporting with Rebekah his wife.
9. And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife. And how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die because of her.
10. And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? One of the people might easily have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
11. And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12. And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year a hundredfold. And Jehovah blessed him.
13. And the man waxed great, and grew more and more until he became very great.
14. And he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household. And the Philistines envied him.
15. Now all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.
16. And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us. For thou art much mightier than we.
