Genesis 26:13

11 So Abimelech charged all his people, saying, “He who ^atouches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.”

12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year ^aa hundredfold; and the Lord ^bblessed him.

13 The man ^abegan to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous;

14 for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines ^aenvied him.

15 Now the Philistines had stopped up all the wells ^awhich his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and they had filled them with earth.

16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for ^ayou are much mightier than we.”

17 Then Isaac departed from there and¹ pitched his tent in the Valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham. ^aHe called them by the names which his father had called them.

Genesis 26:13

The man waxed great - There is a strange and observable recurrence of the same term in the original: vaiyigdal haish vaiyelech haloch vegadel AD ki gadal meod , And the man was Great; and he went, going on, and was Great, until that he was exceeding Great. How simple is this language, and yet how forcible!
