Genesis [Origin].
Chapter 26.
There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham Father of a multitude. Isaac Laughter went to Abimelech My father king king of the Philistines To roll in dust (As an insult), to Gerar. 
Adonai appeared to him, and said, “Don’t go down into Egypt Abode of slavery. Live in the land I will tell you about. 
Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For I will give to you, and to your offspring, all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham Father of a multitude your father. 
I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and will give all these lands to your offspring. By your seed, all the nations of the earth be blessed, 
because Abraham Father of a multitude sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my voice, and heeded what I told him to do— he followed my mitzvot ·instructions·, my regulations, and my torot ·teachings·.” (2) 
Isaac Laughter lived in Gerar. 
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 Securely bound, because she is beautiful to look at.” 
When he had been there a long time, Abimelech My father king king of the Philistines To roll in dust (As an insult) looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac Laughter was caressing Rebekah Securely bound, his wife. 
Abimelech My father king called Isaac Laughter, and said, “Behold, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, ‘She is my sister?’” Isaac Laughter said to him, “Because I said, ‘Lest I die because of her.’” 
Abimelech My father king 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!” 
Abimelech My father king enjoined all the people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death.” 
Isaac Laughter sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. Adonai blessed him. (3) 
The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great. 
He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines To roll in dust (As an insult) envied him. 
Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham Father of a multitude his father, the Philistines To roll in dust (As an insult) had stopped, and filled with earth. 
Abimelech My father king said to Isaac Laughter, “Go from us, for you are much mightier than we.” 
Isaac Laughter departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there. 
Isaac Laughter dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham Father of a multitude his father. For the Philistines To roll in dust (As an insult) had stopped them after the death of Abraham Father of a multitude. He called their names after the names by which his father had called them. 
Isaac Laughter’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. 
The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac Laughter’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him. 
They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name Sitnah. 
He left that place, and dug another well. They didn’t argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, “For now Adonai has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.” (4) 
He went up from there to Be'er-Sheva Well of Seven, Well of an Oath. 
Adonai appeared to him the same night, and said, “I am the God of Abraham Father of a multitude your father. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham Father of a multitude’s sake.” 
He built an altar there, and called on Adonai ’s name, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac Laughter’s servants dug a well. 
Then Abimelech My father king went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army. 
Isaac Laughter said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?” 
They said, “We saw plainly that Adonai was with you. We said, ‘Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· with you, 
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 Adonai .” (5) 
He made them a feast, and they ate and drank. 
They rose up some time in the morning, and swore to one another. Isaac Laughter sent them away, and they departed from him in peace. 
The same day, Isaac Laughter’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, “We have found water.” 
He called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Be'er-Sheva Well of Seven, Well of an Oath to this day. 
When Esau Hairy was forty years old, he took as wife Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite Descendant of Trembling fear, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite Descendant of Trembling fear. 
They grieved Isaac Laughter’s and Rebekah Securely bound’s spirits.
