Tree Of Life Version

Genesis 26:27-35 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

27. Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hate me and sent me away from you?”

28. They said, “We’ve clearly seen that Adonai has been with you. So we said, ‘Let there now be an agreement between us—between us and you—and let us make a covenant with you:

29. that you will do us no harm, just as we haven’t touched you and just as we did nothing to you but good, and sent you away in shalom. You are now blessed by Adonai.”

30. Then he made a feast for them and they ate and drank.

31. Then they got up early in the morning and made a pledge, each to his brother. Then Isaac sent them away and they departed from him in shalom.

32. Now it happened that on that day Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well that they dug, and said to him, “We’ve found water.”

33. So he called it Pledge. That is why the city’s name is Beer-sheba to this day.

34. When Esau was 40 years old, he took as wife Judith the daughter of Be-eri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

35. But they caused a bitterness of spirit for Isaac and Rebekah.
