8. And it cometh to pass, when the days have been prolonged to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looketh through the window, and seeth, and lo, Isaac is playing with Rebekah his wife.
9. And Abimelech calleth for Isaac, and saith, `Lo, she [is] surely thy wife; and how hast thou said, She [is] my sister?' and Isaac saith unto him, `Because I said, Lest I die for her.'
10. And Abimelech saith, `What [is] this thou hast done to us? as a little thing one of the people had lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us guilt;'
11. and Abimelech commandeth all the people, saying, `He who cometh against this man or against his wife, dying doth die.'
12. And Isaac soweth in that land, and findeth in that year a hundredfold, and Jehovah blesseth him;
13. and the man is great, and goeth on, going on and becoming great, till that he hath been very great,
14. and he hath possession of a flock, and possession of a herd, and an abundant service; and the Philistines envy him,
15. and all the wells which his father's servants digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines have stopped them, and fill them with dust.
16. And Abimelech saith unto Isaac, `Go from us; for thou hast become much mightier than we;'
17. and Isaac goeth from thence, and encampeth in the valley of Gerar, and dwelleth there;
18. and Isaac turneth back, and diggeth the wells of water which they digged in the days of Abraham his father, which the Philistines do stop after the death of Abraham, and he calleth to them names according to the names which his father called them.
19. And Isaac's servants dig in the valley, and find there a well of living water,
20. and shepherds of Gerar strive with shepherds of Isaac, saying, `The water [is] ours;' and he calleth the name of the well `Strife,' because they have striven habitually with him;
21. and they dig another well, and they strive also for it, and he calleth its name `Hatred.'
22. And he removeth from thence, and diggeth another well, and they have not striven for it, and he calleth its name Enlargements, and saith, `For--now hath Jehovah given enlargement to us, and we have been fruitful in the land.'
