3. Sojourn in ha'aretz hazot, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy zera, I will give all these lands, and I will perform the shevu'ah (oath) which I swore unto Avraham avichah;
4. And I will make thy zera to multiply as the kokhavim of Shomayim, and will give unto thy zera all these lands; and in thy zera shall kol Goyei Ha'Aretz be blessed;
5. Because Avraham obeyed My voice, and was shomer over My mishmeret (charge), My mitzvot, My chukkot, and My torot.
6. And Yitzchak dwelt in Gerar;
7. And the anshei hamakom asked him about his isha; and he said, She is my achot; for he feared to say, She is my isha; lest, said he, the anshei hamakom should kill me for Rivkah; because she was beautiful to look upon.
8. And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Avimelech Melech Pelishtim (Philistines) looked out at a chalon, and saw, and, hinei, Yitzchak metzachek (was caressing) Rivkah his isha.
9. And Avimelech called Yitzchak, and said, Hinei, of a surety she is thy isha; and why saidst thou, She is my achot? And Yitzchak said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die because of her.
10. And Avimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have slept with thy isha, and thou shouldest have brought asham (guilt) upon us.
11. And Avimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his isha shall surely be put to death.
12. Then Yitzchak sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and Hashem blessed him.
13. And the man became very prosperous, and went forward, and grew until he became gadol me'od:
14. For he had possession of tzon, and possession of herds, and many avadim; and the Pelishtim envied him.
15. For all the wells which avdei aviv had dug in the days of Avraham aviv, the Pelishtim had stopped them up, and filled them with dirt.
16. And Avimelech said unto Yitzchak, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
17. And Yitzchak departed from there, and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
18. And Yitzchak dug again the be'erot hamayim (wells of water), which they had dug in the days of Avraham aviv; for the Pelishtim had stopped them up after the mot Avraham; and he called their shemot after the shemot by which his av had called them.
19. And avdei Yitzchak dug in the valley, and found there a well of mayim chayyim.
