Genesis 26:26-33 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

26. To which place when Abimelech, and Ochozath his friend, and Phicol chief captain of his soldiers came from Gerara,

27. Isaac said to them: Why are ye come to me, a man whom you hate, and have thrust out from you?

28. And they answered: We saw that the Lord is with thee, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us make a covenant,

29. That thou do us no harm, as we on our part have touched nothing of thine, nor have done any thing to hurt thee: but with peace have sent thee away increased with the blessing of the Lord.

30. And he made them a feast, and after they had eaten and drunk:

31. Arising in the morning, they swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away peaceably to their own home.

32. And behold the same day the servants of Isaac came, telling him of a well which they had digged, and saying: We have found water.

33. Whereupon he called it Abundance: and the name of the city was called Bersabee, even to this day.
