6. Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looked through a window and saw Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah. He called to him and said "Why did you lie to us? One of us could have touched her and it would have brought guilt upon us all."

As Isaac moved out into the valley of Gerar, he dug the wells of water again that had been dug by his father Abraham, taking the dirt back out of them. He also gave them the names his father Abraham had given them before.

14. Abimelech, the king of the Philistines, came out to Isaac from Gerar with his adviser and the commander of his army. What did they say to Issac? vs. 28 - 29
Isaac was willing to make covenant with them. He made them a feast and they ate and drank together. In the morning they arose early and exchanged oaths. Isaac sent them away and they departed from him in peace.
15. What happened on the same day? vs. 32 -
- What did he name it?
- What is the name of the city because of this?
16. Issac and Rebekah's sons were Jacob and Esau. We saw some things about them yesterday and will read more about them tomorrow. For now, we hear what Esau had done that brought both Isaac and Rebekah grief in their hearts. What was it? vs. 34 - 35
- How old was Esau at the time?
Since Esau and Jacob are twins, we know that Jacob is the same age. Jacob has not married at this time and we will see that come into his life tomorrow in our reading. 40 years of age is the same age that their father Isaac was when he married Rebekah.
Application: As the herdsmen quarreled over the wells that Isaac's servants dug over who had the right to them, we notice that Isaac's servants just go dig another one. This happens until finally there comes a time there is no arguing and they enjoy the water from that one in peace.
17. What can we learn from this about those who want to argue their rights to us? What are we suppose to do as Christians concerning those who make demands of us or take things that rightfully belong to us? W W J D ?
