Then Abimelek said to Isaac, “Move away from us; you have become too powerful for us.”

Now there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gerar to Abimelech king of the Philistines.

And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”

A severe famine now struck the land, as had happened before in Abraham’s time. So Isaac moved to Gerar, where Abimelech, king of the Philistines, lived.

Finally, Abimelech ordered Isaac to leave the country. “Go somewhere else,” he said, “for you have become too powerful for us.”

There was another famine in the land in addition to the one that had occurred in Abraham’s time.  And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, at Gerar.

And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Leave us, for you are much too powerful for us.”

And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.

And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.

There was a famine in the land, as bad as the famine during the time of Abraham. And Isaac went down to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, in Gerar.

Finally, Abimelech told Isaac: “Leave. You’ve become far too big for us.”

Now there was a famine in the land [of Canaan], besides the previous famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines.

There was a famine in the land, subsequent to the earlier famine that occurred in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines at Gerar.

Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Leave us and go elsewhere, for you have become much more powerful than we are.”
