Isaac Lies to Abimelech

26 Now there was a ·time of hunger [^Lfamine] in the land, besides the ·time of hunger [^Lformer famine] that happened during Abraham’s life. So Isaac went to the town of Gerar [20:1] to see Abimelech king of the Philistines. ² The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, “Don’t go down to Egypt, but ·live [settle; dwell] in the land where I tell you to live. ³ ·Stay [Sojourn; Live as an alien] in this land, and I will be with you and bless you [12:3]. I will give you and your ·descendants [^Lseed] all these lands, and I will ·keep [fulfill] the oath I made to Abraham your father.
