Genesis 26:1

¶ And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.

And there was a famine {H7458} in the land {H776}, beside {H905} the first {H7223} famine {H7458} that was in the days {H3117} of Abraham {H85}. And Isaac {H3327} went {H3212} unto Abimelech {H40} king {H4428} of the Philistines {H6430} unto Gerar {H1642}.

A famine came over the land, not the same as the first famine, which had taken place when Avraham was alive. Yitz'chak went to G'rar, to Avimelekh king of the P'lishtim.

Now there was another famine in the land, subsequent to the one that had occurred in Abraham’s time. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines at Gerar.

And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines, unto Gerar.
