Ge 26:1-35.
SOJOURN IN GERAR.
1. And there was a famine in the land . . . And Isaac went unto . . . Gerar--The pressure of famine in Canaan forced Isaac with his family and flocks to migrate into the land of the Philistines, where he was exposed to personal danger, as his father had been on account of his wife's beauty; but through the seasonable interposition of Providence, he was preserved
(Ps 105:14, 15).

12. 以撒在那地耕種——他在那地區寄居期間，耕種了一塊地，這塊地因着神賜福他的技藝和勤勞，十分豐收
(Isa 65:13； Ps 37:19)；
藉着豐盛的收成，他在財富和影響力上增長極快，以致非利士人因懼怕或嫉妒他的興盛，強迫他離開那地
(Pr 27:4； Ec 4:4)。
這可從以下事實得到說明：時至今日，許多敘利亞牧人在一個地方定居一兩年，租些地，以其出產與鄰近的市場貿易，直到那些地主因嫉妒他們日漸增多的財物，拒絕續租，迫使他們遷往別處。

12. Then Isaac sowed in that land--During his sojourn in that district he farmed a piece of land, which, by the blessing of God on his skill and industry, was very productive
(Isa 65:13; Ps 37:19);
and by his plentiful returns he increased so rapidly in wealth and influence that the Philistines, afraid or envious of his prosperity, obliged him to leave the place
(Pr 27:4; Ec 4:4).
This may receive illustration from the fact that many Syrian shepherds at this day settle for a year or two in a place, rent some ground, in the produce of which they trade with the neighboring market, till the owners, through jealousy of their growing substance, refuse to renew their lease and compel them to remove elsewhere.

15. 他父親僕人所挖的井……非利士人全都塞住等等——為了騷擾那些他們所懷恨的人，同樣卑鄙的計謀至今仍被採用，就是用沙石堵塞水井，或以腐爛的屍體污穢它們。
Original en inglés
15. all the wells which his father's servants had digged . . . the Philistines had stopped, &c.--The same base stratagem for annoying those against whom they have taken an umbrage is practiced still by choking the wells with sand or stones, or defiling them with putrid carcases.

17. 基拉耳谷——即旱河或 wady，一片廣大起伏的平原，無人居住，提供良好的牧場。
Original en inglés
17. valley of Gerar--torrent-bed or wady, a vast undulating plain, unoccupied and affording good pasture.

18-22. 以撒重新挖井——亞伯拉罕給井起名，以及他家對這產業的世襲權利，非利士人改換名字以抹煞其來源的痕跡，以撒恢復其名字，以及各自的牧人為了獨佔水源而起的爭執，這些情形在那些地區的本地人中，如今與以撒時代一樣頻繁發生。
Original en inglés
18-22. Isaac digged again the wells of water--The naming of wells by Abraham, and the hereditary right of his family to the property, the change of the names by the Philistines to obliterate the traces of their origin, the restoration of the names by Isaac, and the contests between the respective shepherds to the exclusive possession of the water, are circumstances that occur among the natives in those regions as frequently in the present day as in the time of Isaac.

26-33. 亞比米勒到了他這裏——亞伯拉罕的訪問與以撒的訪問之間相隔九十年，因此所提到的亞比米勒與非各必是不同的人的官職稱號。這是應許
(Ge 12:2)
應驗的又一明證：基拉耳王主動向他求和。無論這建議出於何種動機——是懼怕他日益壯大的勢力，還是為他們從前苛待他而後悔——王與兩位廷臣親自來到以撒的帳棚
(Pr 16:7)。
他那怯懦而退讓的性情曾忍受粗魯鄰舍的煩擾；但如今他們要更新盟約，他便對他們的行徑深表不滿，又對他們竟敢厚著臉皮——或用計謀——來見他感到驚訝。然而以撒性情愛好和平，便赦免了他們的過犯，接受了他們的建議，並以宴席款待他們——立約的批准通常都以宴席作為冠冕。

26-33. Then Abimelech went to him--As there was a lapse of ninety years between the visit of Abraham and of Isaac, the Abimelech and Phichol spoken of must have been different persons' official titles. Here is another proof of the promise
(Ge 12:2)
being fulfilled, in an overture of peace being made to him by the king of Gerar. By whatever motive the proposal was dictated--whether fear of his growing power, or regret for the bad usage they had given him, the king and two of his courtiers paid a visit to the tent of Isaac
(Pr 16:7).
His timid and passive temper had submitted to the annoyances of his rude neighbors; but now that they wish to renew the covenant, he evinces deep feeling at their conduct, and astonishment at their assurance, or artifice, in coming near him. Being, however, of a pacific disposition, Isaac forgave their offense, accepted their proposals, and treated them to the banquet by which the ratification of a covenant was usually crowned.

34. 以掃……娶妻——若亞伯拉罕敬虔的心思對以撒與迦南女子結親一事都退避三舍
[Ge 24:3]，
那麼這位敬虔的先祖本人，對兒女這樣的結合也必同樣反對；我們不難想像，當他那蒙愛卻任性的兒子竟把兩個拜偶像的妻子帶進家中——他敬虔的心何等受傷，家庭的和睦何等被破壞——這又證明以掃既不渴慕神的福，也不畏懼神的咒詛。這些妻子始終未得他父母的歡心，而這種疏遠被神用來使蒙選召的家族遠離異教影響的危險。
Original en inglés
34. Esau . . . took to wife--If the pious feelings of Abraham recoiled from the idea of Isaac forming a matrimonial connection with a Canaanitish woman
[Ge 24:3],
that devout patriarch himself would be equally opposed to such a union on the part of his children; and we may easily imagine how much his pious heart was wounded, and the family peace destroyed, when his favorite but wayward son brought no less than two idolatrous wives among them--an additional proof that Esau neither desired the blessing nor dreaded the curse of God. These wives never gained the affections of his parents, and this estrangement was overruled by God for keeping the chosen family aloof from the dangers of heathen influence.
Ge 26:1-35.
寄居基拉耳。
1. 在亞伯拉罕的日子……有了饑荒。以撒……往基拉耳去——迦南的饑荒迫使以撒帶著家人和羊群遷入非利士人之地；在那裡他因妻子的美貌而像他父親一樣身陷險境；但因神適時的干預，他得以保全
(詩 105:14, 15)。
