Read Genesis 26.1-16. In 26.1-33: Stories about Isaac and Abimelech. Several incidents in Isaac's life repeat similar events in the life of his father Abraham. Examples include divine promises of land and descendants (12.1-3; 26.1-6, 24), the building of altars (12.7-8; 13.18; 26.25), a wife -sister incident with Abimelech (20.1-18; 26.6-11), conflicts over ownership of wells (21.25-34; 26.17-25), and a covenant of peace with Abimelech (21.22-24; 26.26-31), In verse 8: The writer again puns on the name Isaac: The king saw Isaac ("yitshaq") fondling (:metsaheq") his wife.
