Gen Z: Genesis 26
1There was a famine, like, a serious one, not the first one that happened with Abraham. So Isaac was like, "Bet, let’s hit up Abimelech, the king of the Philistines in Gerar."
2Then God popped up and was like, “Yo, don’t dip to Egypt; chill in the land I tell you about.”
3Stay here, and I got you; I’ll bless you. You and your fam will own all these lands, and I’ll keep my promise to Abraham, your pops.
4I’m gonna make your fam as lit as the stars in the sky, and all these lands are yours; through your fam, all the nations are gonna be blessed, no cap.
5This is all because Abraham listened to me and kept it 100 with my commands and rules.
6So Isaac was just chillin' in Gerar.
7The locals asked about his wifey, and he was like, “She’s my sis,” 'cause he was lowkey scared they'd off him for Rebekah, since she was a total baddie.
8After a minute, Abimelech peeped Isaac vibing with Rebekah, his wife, from a window.
9Abimelech called Isaac over and was like, “For real, she’s your wife? Why’d you say she’s your sister?” Isaac replied, “I was worried I’d get wrecked for her.”
10Abimelech was like, “What have you done? Someone could’ve messed with your wife, and you would’ve put us in a sus situation.”
11Abimelech told his crew, "Touch this dude or his wifey and it's game over, no cap."
12Isaac planted in that land and got a hundred times back that same year. God was totally vibing with him.
13Dude was leveling up big time, he kept grinding and became super lit.
14He had mad flocks, herds, and a squad of servants, and the Philistines were lowkey jealous.
15All the wells his dad's squad dug, the Philistines blocked them and filled them with dirt, total sus move.
16Abimelech told Isaac, "You gotta bounce; you're way too goated for us."
17So Isaac dipped and set up camp in the Gerar valley, just chillin' there.
18Isaac re-dug the wells from his dad's days, 'cause the Philistines blocked them after Abraham passed. He named them what his dad named them.
19Isaac's crew dug in the valley and found a dope spring of water.
20The herders of Gerar clashed with Isaac's crew, claiming, "That water's ours!" Isaac named the well Esek, 'cause they were all about that drama.
21They dug another well, but had drama over it, so he named it Sitnah.
22Then he moved on and dug another well, and this time no beef, so he called it Rehoboth, saying, "God's making space for us, we’re about to thrive here."
23He bounced from there to Beer-sheba.
24That night, God showed up and said, "Yo, I’m the God of your dad Abraham. No cap, I’m with you, gonna bless you, and make your fam big for Abraham's sake."
25He built an altar there, called on the Lord's name, set up his tent, and Isaac’s crew dug a well.
26Then Abimelech rolled up with his homie Ahuzzath and Phichol, the big boss of his squad.
27Isaac was like, "Why are you here? Y’all used to hate on me and sent me packing."
28They replied, "We saw that the Lord’s been vibing with you, so we thought we should make a pact, like, let’s be cool."
29"You won’t hurt us, 'cause we’ve only done good by you and sent you away chill, so you’re now blessed by the Lord."
30He threw them a feast, and they all ate and drank together.
31They woke up early, made a pact, and Isaac was like, "Y'all can dip now," so they bounced in peace.
32That same day, Isaac's crew came through and said, "Yo, we found water at the well we dug!"
33He named it Shebah, so now the city is still known as Beer-sheba, no cap.
34Esau was 40 when he wifed up Judith, Beeri's daughter, and Bashemath, Elon’s daughter, lit.
35They were lowkey a headache for Isaac and Rebekah, fr.
