Gen 26:1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.

wayyērā’ ’ēlāyw yəhwāh wayyō’mer ’al-tērēḏ miṣərāyəmāh šəḵōn bā’āreṣ ’ăšer ’ōmar ’ēleyḵā

Gen 26:2 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:

gûr bā’āreṣ hazzō’ṯ wə’ehəyeh ‘imməḵā wa’ăḇārəḵekkā kî-ləḵā ûləzarə‘ăḵā ’ettēn ’eṯ-kāl-hā’ărāṣōṯ hā’ēl wahăqimōṯî ’eṯ-haššəḇu‘āh ’ăšer nišəba‘ətî lə’aḇərāhām ’āḇîḵā

Gen 26:3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;

wəhirəbêṯî ’eṯ-zarə‘ăḵā kəḵôḵəḇê haššāmayim wənāṯattî ləzarə‘ăḵā ’ēṯ kāl-hā’ărāṣōṯ hā’ēl wəhiṯəbārăḵû ḇəzarə‘ăḵā kōl gôyê hā’āreṣ

Gen 26:4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

‘ēqeḇ ’ăšer-šāma‘ ’aḇərāhām bəqōlî wayyišəmōr mišəmarətî miṣəwōṯay ḥuqqôṯay wəṯôrōṯāy

Gen 26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

wayyēšeḇ yiṣəḥāq big̱ərār

Gen 26:6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:

wayyišə’ălû ’anəšê hammāqôm lə’išətô wayyō’mer ’ăḥōṯî hiw’ kî yārē’ lē’mōr ’išətî pen-yaharəg̱unî ’anəšê hammāqôm ‘al-riḇəqāh kî-ṭôḇaṯ marə’eh hî’

Gen 26:7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.

wayəhî kî ’ārəḵû-lô šām hayyāmîm wayyašəqēp̱ ’ăḇîmeleḵ meleḵ pəlišətîm bə‘aḏ haḥallôn wayyarə’ wəhinnēh yiṣəḥāq məṣaḥēq ’ēṯ riḇəqāh ’išətô

Gen 26:8 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.

wayyiqərā’ ’ăḇîmeleḵ ləyiṣəḥāq wayyō’mer ’aḵ hinnēh ’išətəḵā hiw’ wə’êḵ ’āmarətā ’ăḥōṯî hiw’ wayyō’mer ’ēlāyw yiṣəḥāq kî ’āmarətî pen-’āmûṯ ‘āleyhā

Gen 26:9 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 for her.

wayyō’mer ’ăḇîmeleḵ mah-zzō’ṯ ‘āśîṯā llānû kimə‘aṭ šāḵaḇ ’aḥaḏ hā‘ām ’eṯ-’išəteḵā wəhēḇē’ṯā ‘ālênû ’āšām

Gen 26:10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.

wayəṣaw ’ăḇîmeleḵ ’eṯ-kāl-hā‘ām lē’mōr hannōg̱ēa‘ bā’îš hazzeh ûḇə’išətô môṯ yûmāṯ

Gen 26:11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.

wayyizəra‘ yiṣəḥāq bā’āreṣ hahiw’ wayyiməṣā’ baššānāh hahiw’ mē’āh šə‘ārîm wayəḇārăḵēhû yəhwāh

Gen 26:12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.

wayyig̱ədal hā’îš wayyēleḵ hālôḵ wəg̱āḏēl ‘aḏ kî-g̱āḏal mə’ōḏ

Gen 26:13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:

wayəhî-lô miqənēh-ṣō’n ûmiqənēh ḇāqār wa‘ăḇuddāh rabbāh wayəqanə’û ’ōṯô pəlišətîm

Gen 26:14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.

wəḵāl-habbə’ērōṯ ’ăšer ḥāp̱ərû ‘aḇəḏê ’āḇîw bîmê ’aḇərāhām ’āḇîw sittəmûm pəlišətîm wayəmalə’ûm ‘āp̱ār

Gen 26:15 For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.

wayyō’mer ’ăḇîmeleḵ ’el-yiṣəḥāq lēḵ mē‘immānû kî-‘āṣamətā-mimmennû mə’ōḏ

Gen 26:16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.

wayyēleḵ miššām yiṣəḥāq wayyiḥan bənaḥal-gərār wayyēšeḇ šām

Gen 26:17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

wayyāšāḇ yiṣəḥāq wayyaḥəpōr ’eṯ-bə’ērōṯ hammayim ’ăšer ḥāp̱ərû bîmê ’aḇərāhām ’āḇîw wayəsattəmûm pəlišətîm ’aḥărê môṯ ’aḇərāhām wayyiqərā’ lāhen šēmôṯ kaššēmōṯ ’ăšer-qārā’ lāhen ’āḇîw

Gen 26:18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.

wayyaḥəpərû ‘aḇəḏê-yiṣəḥāq bannāḥal wayyiməṣə’û-šām bə’ēr mayim ḥayyîm

Gen 26:19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

wayyārîḇû rō‘ê g̱ərār ‘im-rō‘ê yiṣəḥāq lē’mōr lānû hammāyim wayyiqərā’ šēm-habbə’ēr ‘ēśeq kî hiṯə‘aśśəqû ‘immô

Gen 26:20 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.

wayyaḥəpərû bə’ēr ’aḥereṯ wayyārîḇû gam-‘āleyhā wayyiqərā’ šəmāhh śiṭənāh

Gen 26:21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.

wayya‘ətēq miššām wayyaḥəpōr bə’ēr ’aḥereṯ wəlō’ rāḇû ‘āleyhā wayyiqərā’ šəmāhh rəḥōḇôṯ wayyō’mer kî-‘attāh hirəḥîḇ yəhwāh lānû ûp̱ārînû ḇā’āreṣ

Gen 26:22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

wayya‘al miššām bə’ēr šāḇa‘

Gen 26:23 And he went up from thence to Beersheba.

wayyērā’ ’ēlāyw yəhwāh ballayəlāh hahû’ wayyō’mer ’ānōḵî ’ĕlōhê ’aḇərāhām ’āḇîḵā ’al-tîrā’ kî-’ittəḵā ’ānōḵî ûḇēraḵətîḵā wəhirəbêṯî ’eṯ-zarə‘ăḵā ba‘ăḇûr ’aḇərāhām ‘aḇədî

Gen 26:24 And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.

wayyiḇen šām mizəbēaḥ wayyiqərā’ bəšēm yəhwāh wayyeṭ-šām ’āhŏlô wayyiḵərû-šām ‘aḇəḏê-yiṣəḥāq bə’ēr

Gen 26:25 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well.

wa’ăḇîmeleḵ hālaḵ ’ēlāyw miggərār wa’ăḥuzzaṯ mērē‘ēhû ûp̱îḵōl śar-ṣəḇā’ô

Gen 26:26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.

wayyō’mer ’ălēhem yiṣəḥāq maddûa‘ bā’ṯem ’ēlāy wə’attem śənē’ṯem ’ōṯî wattəšalləḥûnî mē’ittəḵem

Gen 26:27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?

wayyō’mərû rā’ô rā’înû kî-hāyāh yəhwāh ‘immāḵ wannō’mer təhî nā’ ’ālāh bênôṯênû bênênû ûḇêneḵā wəniḵərəṯāh ḇərîṯ ‘immāḵ

Gen 26:28 And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;

’im-ta‘ăśēh ‘immānû rā‘āh ka’ăšer lō’ nəg̱a‘ănûḵā wəḵa’ăšer ‘āśînû ‘imməḵā raq-ṭôḇ wannəšallēḥăḵā bəšālôm ’attāh ‘attāh bərûḵ yəhwāh

Gen 26:29 That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD.

wayya‘aś lāhem mišəteh wayyō’ḵəlû wayyišətû

Gen 26:30 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.

wayyašəkîmû ḇabbōqer wayyiššāḇə‘û ’îš lə’āḥîw wayəšalləḥēm yiṣəḥāq wayyēləḵû mē’ittô bəšālôm

Gen 26:31 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

wayəhî bayyôm hahû’ wayyāḇō’û ‘aḇəḏê yiṣəḥāq wayyaggiḏû lô ‘al-’ōḏôṯ habbə’ēr ’ăšer ḥāp̱ārû wayyō’mərû lô māṣā’nû māyim

Gen 26:32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.

wayyiqərā’ ’ōṯāhh šiḇə‘āh ‘al-kēn šēm-hā‘îr bə’ēr šeḇa‘ ‘aḏ hayyôm hazzeh

Gen 26:33 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day.

wayəhî ‘ēśāw ben-’arəbā‘îm šānāh wayyiqqaḥ ’iššāh ’eṯ-yəhûḏîṯ baṯ-bə’ērî haḥittî wə’eṯ-bāśəmaṯ baṯ-’êlōn haḥittî

Gen 26:34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:

wattihəyeynā mōraṯ rûaḥ ləyiṣəḥāq ûləriḇəqāh

Gen 26:35 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
