1. Mosebok 26,14

Envy and jealousy

12 Isak sådde avlingen i det landet og høstet hundrefold samme år, fordi Herren velsignet ham.

13 Mannen ble rik, og hans rikdom fortsatte å øke til han ble meget velstående.

Han hadde mange flokker, hjorder og tjenere, så mye at filisterne misunte ham.

15 Alle brønnene som hans fars tjenere hadde gravd i Abrahams, hans fars, dager, fylte filisterne igjen med jord.

16 Da sa Abimelek til Isak: «Flytt bort fra oss, for du har blitt for mektig for oss.»
