Bereshis 26:22-31 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

22. And he moved away from there, and dug another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the shem of it Rechovot (Broad Places); and he said, For now Hashem hath made rachav (room) for us, and we shall be fruitful in ha'aretz.

23. And he went up from there to Beer-Sheva.

24. And Hashem appeared unto him balailah hahu, and said, I am Elohei Avraham avichah; fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy zera for the sake of Avdi Avraham (My Servant Abraham).

25. And he built a Mizbe'ach there, and called upon the Shem of Hashem, and pitched his ohel there: and there avdei Yitzchak dug a well.

26. Then Avimelech went to him from Gerar, and Achuzzat his adviser, and Phichol the sar tz'va of his.

27. And Yitzchak said unto them, Why come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?

28. And they said, We saw certainly that Hashem was with thee; and we said, Let there be now an oath between us, even between us and thee, and let us cut a brit (covenant) with thee;

29. That thou wilt do us no ra'ah, just as we have not touched thee, and just as we have done unto thee nothing but tov, and have sent thee away in shalom; thou art now the Beruch Hashem (the blessed of Hashem).

30. And he made them a mishteh (feast), and they did eat and drink.

31. And they rose up early in the boker, and swore one to another: and Yitzchak sent them away, and they departed from him in shalom.
