Genesis 26:16 in Context — Genesis 26

14 Il avait des troupeaux de menu bétail et des troupeaux de gros bétail, et un grand nombre de serviteurs: aussi les Philistins lui portèrent envie.

15 Tous les puits qu’avaient creusés les serviteurs de son père, du temps d’Abraham, son père, les Philistins les comblèrent et les remplirent de poussière.

16 Et Abimélec dit à Isaac: Va-t’en de chez nous, car tu es beaucoup plus puissant que nous.

17 Isaac partit de là, et campa dans la vallée de Guérar, où il s’établit.

18 Isaac creusa de nouveau les puits d’eau qu’on avait creusés du temps d’Abraham, son père, et qu’avaient comblés les Philistins après la mort d’Abraham; et il leur donna les mêmes noms que son père leur avait donnés.
