国中的长老就有几个人起来，对聚会的众民说，
Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying,
既出去，到了门口，又有一个使女看见他，就对那里的人说，这个人也是同拿撒勒人耶稣一夥的。
And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
那地方的人问到他的妻子，他便说，那是我的妹子。原来他怕说，是我的妻子。他心里想，恐怕这地方的人为利百加的缘故杀我，因为她容貌俊美。
And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
他就昌大，日增月盛，成了大富户。
And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
在水面的周围划出界限，直到光明黑暗的交界。
He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
在亚伯拉罕的日子，那地有一次饥荒。这时又有饥荒，以撒就往基拉耳去，到非利士人的王亚比米勒那里。
And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
他在那里住了许久。有一天，非利士人的王亚比米勒从窗户里往外观看，见以撒和他的妻子利百加戏玩。
And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
亚比米勒召了以撒来，对他说，她实在是你的妻子，你怎吗说她是你的妹子。以撒说，我心里想，恐怕我因她而死。
And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
他有羊群牛群，又有许多仆人，非利士人就嫉妒他。
For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
亚比米勒对以撒说，你离开我们去吧。因为你比我们强盛得多。
And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
