Genesis 26:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 26:2

Isaac and Abimelech

1 There was a famine in the land, besides ^athe first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to ^bAbimelech king of the Philistines, in Gerar.

2 Then the Lord appeared to him and said: ^a“Do not go down to Egypt; live in ^bthe land of which I shall tell you.

3 ^aDwell in this land, and ^bI will be with you and ^cbless you; for to you and your descendants ^dI give all these lands, and I will perform ^ethe oath which I swore to Abraham your father.

4 And ^aI will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; ^band in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed;

5 ^abecause Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

6 So Isaac dwelt in Gerar.

7 And the men of the place asked about his wife. And ^ahe said, “She is my sister”; for ^bhe was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” because he thought, “lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, because she is ^cbeautiful to behold.”
