Genesis 26:4-7 God's Word Translation (GW)

4. I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and give all these lands to your descendants. Through your descendant all the nations of the earth will be blessed.

5. I will bless you because Abraham obeyed me and completed the duties, commands, laws, and instructions I gave him.”

6. So Isaac lived in Gerar.

7. When the men of that place asked about his wife, Isaac answered, “She’s my sister.” He was afraid to say “my wife.” He thought that the men of that place would kill him to get Rebekah, because she was an attractive woman.
