Genesis 26:12

Isaac
God's faithfulnessWork

10 “What is this you have done to us?” asked Abimelech. “One of the people could easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”

11 So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”

Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,

13 and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.

14 He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.
