26 Now Abimilech coming unto him to Gerar, with Achuzath his friend, and Picol the Captain of his host: 27 Isaac saith unto them, why came you unto me: seeing you hated me, and have sent me away from you? 28 Who said unto him we saw for asuretie, that Jehovah was with thee, therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, that is, between us & thee, Let us therefore strike a covenant with thee. 29 Ask vengeance upon thy self, if thou shalt hurt us, like as we have not touched thee, and like as we have don thee good, and have sent thee away with peace: Do thou consent now, thou hlessed of the Lord. 30 When therefore he had made them a feast, they did eat and drink. And rising in the morning, they swore either to other: And Isaac led them forth, and they went from him with peace. ⟨p. 119⟩31 And it came to pass that the self same day, Isaacks servants coming unto him, showed him concerning that well which they had digged, and said unto him we have found waters. 32 And he called the same Sohibbah, therefore the name of the City is Beer-schebah even until this day. Chapter. 27. verse. 1. NOW when Esau was forty years old, he married a wife named Judith the daughter of Beer the Chithite, and Basmatha the daughter of Elon the Chithite. 2 Who were a grief of mind to Isaac and Rebecca.
