❧ The sixth Sermon of Iacob and Esau, Genesis 26.
1 Now there was a great famine in that land, far greater then that first famine, that was in the days of Abraham: Wherefore Isaac went unto Abimelech the King of the Philistines into Gerar: 2 For the Lord appearing unto him had said, Go not down into Egypt, but dwell in the land which I shall tell thee. 3 Be a stranger in this land, and I will be with thee, and bless thee: For to thee and thy seed, I will give all these countries, that I may establish the oath which I have sworn to Abraham thy father. 4 I will multiply thy seed that it may be infinite as the stars of Heaven, and I will give unto thy seed all these Countries: and all the nations of the Earth, shall repute them selves blessed in thy seed. 5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and observed my ordinance, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
