1 And there was a famine in the land, in addition to the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech, king of the Philistines, unto Gerar. 2 And the LORD appeared unto him and said, Do not go down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of; 3 abide in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these lands, and I will confirm the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father; 4 and I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven and will give unto thy seed all these lands, and in thy seed shall all the Gentiles of the earth be blessed 5 because Abraham hearkened unto my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
