New Testament

Genesis 26:10-16 Modern English Version (MEV)

10. Abimelek said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might have easily lain with your wife, and you might have brought guilt upon us!”

11. Abimelek charged all his people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”

12. Then Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; the Lord blessed him.

13. The man became rich and continued to prosper until he became very wealthy.

14. For he had possessions of flocks and herds and a great number of servants so that the Philistines envied him.

15. For the Philistines had stopped up all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father by filling them with dirt.

16. Abimelek said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much more powerful than we are.”
