Isaac and God’s Covenant Reaffirmed
Genesis 26:1-6
1
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.
2
ADONAI appeared to him and said, "Don't go down into Egypt, but live where I tell you.
3
Stay in this land, and I will be with you and bless you, because I will give all these lands to you and to your descendants. I will fulfill the oath which I swore to Avraham your father -
4
I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, I will give all these lands to your descendants, and by your descendants all the nations of the earth will bless themselves.
5
All this is because Avraham heeded what I said and did what I told him to do -he followed my mitzvot, my regulations and my teachings."
6
So Yitz'chak settled in G'rar.
