  1. Yitzchak moves to the city of Avimelech:
    • Yitzchak remained in Gerar, the land of Avimelech.
    • Rivka’s identity is disguised and then discovered: Upon being questioned by the city residents, Yitzchak replied that his wife Rivka is really his sister, as she was very beautiful. After some time, Avimelech the king saw Yitzchak being intimate with his wife Rivka. Avimelech confronted Yitzchak with his discovery, and complained that he was lied to about her being Yitzchak’s sister and not his wife. This could have caused the king to sin. Yitzchak replied that he felt no choice but to lie, as he feared for his life. Avimelech warned the public that anyone who lays hand on Yitzchak or his wife will be put to death.
    • The blessing in the crop: Yitzchak plowed and planted the fields, and that year it produced one hundred-fold of produce.
