God's Promise to Isaac
1
Now there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gerar, to King Abimelech of the Philistines.
2
The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; settle in the land that I shall show you.
3
Reside in this land as an alien, and I will be with you, and will bless you; for to you and to your descendants I will give all these lands, and I will fulfill the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.
4
I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven, and will give to your offspring all these lands; and all the nations of the earth shall gain blessing for themselves through your offspring,
5
because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."
