2. The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, “Don’t go down to Egypt. Live in the land where I tell you to live.
3. Stay in this land, and I will be with you. I will bless you. I will give you and your descendants all these lands. I will keep the agreement I made to Abraham your father.
4. I will give you many descendants. They will be as hard to count as the stars in the sky. And I will give them all these lands. Through your descendants all the nations on the earth will be blessed.
5. I will do this because your father Abraham obeyed me. He did what I said. He obeyed my commands, my teachings and my rules.”
6. So Isaac stayed in Gerar.
