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

2Yahweh appeared to him, and said, “Don’t go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.

3Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For to you, and to your seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.

4I will multiply your seed as the stars of the sky, and will give to your seed all these lands. In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed,

5because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”
