Eventually, Yitzchak settled in Be’er Sheva. The king of the Plishtim then asked Yitzchak to forge an alliance with him, acknowledging that Yitzchak was blessed with Divine favor and success.
The king of the Land of Plishtim, fearful of Yitzchak’s growing economic influence, asked him to leave. Yitzchak settled nearby, and then began his life project: digging wells to provide sources of water for new towns and villages. He began by uncovering his father Avraham’s wells, which the Plishtim had blocked up.
Rivkah was almost abducted by the Plishti king. Yitzchak’srighteousness was made evident to everyone when the yield of his crop was miraculously out of proportion to the amount he planted.
Yitzchak and Rivkah had no children for the first 20 years of theirmarriage. When their prayers were finally answered and Rivkah conceived, she suffered intense pregnancy pain. G-d informed her that she was pregnant with twins who would be opposite—not only physically, but morally, as well—and that each one’s success in pursuing his path in life would be at the expense of the other’s. When Rivkah gave birth, the first twin to emerge was Esav, although Ya’akov was actually conceived first. Already as young boys, Esav was drawn toward sensual thrills while Ya’akov was drawn toward absorbing the wisdom and traditions transmitted by Avraham and Yitzchak. Understanding that he would be the more faithful steward of the family’s ideals, Ya’akov offered to trade the right of leadership from Esav for a hot meal, to which Esav readily agreed. After this, when Kena’an was plagued by famine, Yitzchak relocated his family to the Land of Plishtim.
After chronicling Avraham’s death, the Torah lists the descendants of Yishmael before continuing with the chronicle of Yitzchak in the next section.
Hagar had adopted monotheism when she first became Sarah’s bondwoman, but after she and her son Yishmael were banished from Avraham’s household, she lapsed back into her former practice of idolatry. Shortly after Yitzchak married Rivkah, Avraham remarried Hagar (who had by then permanently renounced idolatry), and had six more sons through her. Years later, when he was 175 years old, Avraham died.
Rivkah’s father Besu’el was about to oppose the marriage, but G-d’s angel killed him. The rest of the family agreed to the match and blessed Rivkah. Eliezer set out with Rivkah back to Kena’an to meet Yitzchak. They happened upon Yitzchak in the late afternoon, as he was praying. After Yitzchak and Rivkah married, Rivkah assumed Sarah’s place as the family matriarch.
When Eliezer found out that Rivkah was Avraham’s grand-niece, he blessed G-d for having granted him success in his mission. After having betrothed Rivkah to Yitzchak, Eliezer met Rivkah’s family and told them the miraculous details of his trip and his mission.
