Matthew Chapter 18
18:1At the same time came the disciples unto Yahshua, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
18:2And Yahshua called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
18:3And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
18:4Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
18:5And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
18:6But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
18:7Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
18:8Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee : it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
18:9And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into Gehenna fire.
18:10Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
18:11For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
18:12How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
18:13And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
18:14Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
18:15Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
18:16But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
18:17And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the assembly: but if he neglect to hear the assembly, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
18:18Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
18:19Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
18:20For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
18:21Then came Peter to him, and said, Master, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
18:22Yahshua saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
18:23Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
18:24And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
18:25But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his master commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made
18:26The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Master, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
18:27Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
18:28But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
18:29And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
18:30And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
18:31So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their master all that was done.
18:32Then his master, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
18:33Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
18:34And his master was wroth and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
18:35So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
18:1At the same time came the disciples unto Yahshua, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
18:2And Yahshua called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
18:3And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
18:4Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
18:5And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
18:6But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
18:7Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

18:30And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
18:31So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their master all that was done.
18:32Then his master, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
18:33Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
18:34And his master was wroth and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
18:35So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Revelation Chapter 18
18:1And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
18:2And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
18:3For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
18:4And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
18:5For her sins have reached unto heaven, and Elohim hath remembered her iniquities.
18:6Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
18:7How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
18:8Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is Yahweh Elohim who judgeth her.
18:9And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
18:10Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
18:11And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
18:12The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
18:13And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
18:14And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
18:15The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
18:16And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
18:17For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18:18And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
18:19And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
18:20Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for Elohim hath avenged you on her.
18:21And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
18:22And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
18:23And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
18:24And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
18:1And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
18:2And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
18:3For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
18:4And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
18:5For her sins have reached unto heaven, and Elohim hath remembered her iniquities.
18:6Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
18:7How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
18:8Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is Yahweh Elohim who judgeth her.
18:9And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
18:10Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
18:11And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
18:12The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
18:13And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
18:14And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
18:15The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
18:16And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
18:17For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18:18And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

18:24And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Proverb Chapter 18
18:1Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
18:2A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
18:3When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
18:4The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
18:5It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
18:6A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
18:7A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
18:8The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
18:9He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
18:10The name of Yahweh is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
18:11The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
18:12Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
18:13He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
18:14The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
18:15The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
18:16A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
18:17He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
18:18The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
18:19A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
18:20A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
18:21Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
18:22Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of Yahweh.
18:23The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
18:24A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
18:1Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
18:2A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
18:3When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
18:4The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
18:5It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
18:6A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
18:7A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
18:8The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
18:9He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
18:10The name of Yahweh is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
18:11The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
18:12Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
18:13He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
18:14The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
18:15The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
18:16A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
18:17He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
18:18The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
18:19A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
18:20A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
18:21Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
18:22Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of Yahweh.
18:23The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
18:24A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Genesis Chapter 25 & 26
25:1Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
25:2And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
25:3And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
25:4And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
25:5And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
25:6But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
25:7And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
25:8Then Abraham gave up the breath, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
25:9And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
25:10The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
25:11And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that Elohim blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
25:12Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
25:13And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
25:14And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
25:15Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
25:16These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
25:17And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the breath and died; and was gathered unto his people.
25:18And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.
25:19And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:
25:20And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
25:21And Isaac intreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren: and Yahweh was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
25:22And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of Yahweh.
25:23And Yahweh said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
25:24And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25:25And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
25:26And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
25:27And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
25:28And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
25:29And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
25:30And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
25:31And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
25:32And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
25:33And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
25:34Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
25:1Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
25:2And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
25:3And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
25:4And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
25:5And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
25:6But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
25:7And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
25:8Then Abraham gave up the breath, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
25:9And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
25:10The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
25:11And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that Elohim blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
25:12Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:

25:14And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
25:15Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
25:16These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
25:17And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the breath and died; and was gathered unto his people.
25:18And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.

25:21And Isaac intreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren: and Yahweh was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
25:22And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of Yahweh.
25:23And Yahweh said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
25:24And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25:25And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
25:26And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
25:27And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
25:28And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
25:29And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
25:30And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
25:31And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
25:32And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
25:33And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
25:34Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
Genesis Chapter 26
26:1And 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.
26:2And Yahweh appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
26:3Sojourn 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;
26:4And 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;
26:5Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
26:6And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
26:7And 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.
26:8And 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.
26:9And 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.
26:10And 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.
26:11And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
26:12Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and Yahweh blessed him.
26:13And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
26:14For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
26:15For 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.
26:16And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
26:17And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
26:18And 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.
26:19And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
26:20And 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.
26:21And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
26:22And 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 Yahweh hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
26:23And he went up from thence to Beersheba.
26:24And Yahweh appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the Elohim 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.
26:25And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of Yahweh, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well.
26:26Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
26:27And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
26:28And they said, We saw certainly that Yahweh 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;
26:29That 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 Yahweh.
26:30And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
26:31And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
26:32And 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.
26:33And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day.
26:34And 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:
26:35Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
26:1And 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.
26:2And Yahweh appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
26:3Sojourn 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;
26:4And 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;
26:5Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
