Genesis 26:6-19 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

6. And Isaac dwelleth in Gerar;

7. and men of the place ask him of his wife, and he saith, `She [is] my sister:' for he hath been afraid to say, `My wife--lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, for she [is] of good appearance.'

8. And it cometh to pass, when the days have been prolonged to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looketh through the window, and seeth, and lo, Isaac is playing with Rebekah his wife.

9. And Abimelech calleth for Isaac, and saith, `Lo, she [is] surely thy wife; and how hast thou said, She [is] my sister?' and Isaac saith unto him, `Because I said, Lest I die for her.'

17. and Isaac goeth from thence, and encampeth in the valley of Gerar, and dwelleth there;

18. and Isaac turneth back, and diggeth the wells of water which they digged in the days of Abraham his father, which the Philistines do stop after the death of Abraham, and he calleth to them names according to the names which his father called them.

19. And Isaac's servants dig in the valley, and find there a well of living water,
