Wells of Peace

Name Date

Read the Story

There was no food in the land. God told Isaac to stay in the land, and promised to be with him and bless him. Isaac obeyed. He planted seeds, and God gave him a big harvest!

Isaac's servants dug a well and found water. But some other men said the water was theirs. Isaac did not fight. He moved and dug another well. The men argued about that one too.

Isaac moved again and dug one more well. This time nobody argued. Isaac said, For now Yahweh has made room for us. That night God told Isaac not to be afraid, because God was with him. Isaac built an altar and worshiped God.

Memory Verse

Yahweh appeared to him the same night, and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham’s sake.”

Genesis 26:24 (WEB)

Genesis 26 · Grade 3

Room to Grow

Name Date

Read the Story

There was a famine in the land. The Lord appeared to Isaac and told him not to go down to Egypt. God promised, I will be with you, and will bless you, and repeated the promises He had made to Abraham. Isaac stayed in Gerar.

Isaac was afraid and said Rebekah was his sister, just as his father once did. King Abimelech found out the truth and ordered that no one harm them. Isaac planted crops and reaped a hundred times as much, for the Lord blessed him. The Philistines became jealous and stopped up the wells Abraham had dug.

Isaac's servants dug new wells, but the herdsmen of Gerar argued over them. Isaac moved on and dug another well, and there was no argument. He named it Rehoboth, saying, For now Yahweh has made room for us. At Beersheba the Lord appeared to him and said, Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Isaac built an altar, and later he made a peace treaty with Abimelech.

Memory Verse

“Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For I will give to you, and to your offspring, all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.”

Genesis 26 · Grade 4

Blessed to Be a Peacemaker

Name Date

Read and Think

Genesis 26 is the main chapter about Isaac on his own. During a famine, God appeared to Isaac and gave him the same promises He had made to Abraham: land, many descendants, and blessing for all nations. The promise passed from father to son.

Like his father, Isaac was afraid and called his wife his sister. Sin patterns can pass from one generation to the next, but so can faith. God protected Isaac and Rebekah and blessed Isaac's work. His crops, flocks and herds grew so much that the Philistines became jealous.

When the Philistines filled in his wells and argued over new ones, Isaac kept moving instead of fighting. God gave him Rehoboth, a place with room. In the New Testament, Jesus calls peacemakers blessed (Matthew 5:9). Isaac's gentle response led even his rivals to say, We saw plainly that Yahweh was with you, and they asked for a peace treaty.

Show What You Know

  1. What promises did God give Isaac?

  2. What can pass from one generation to the next?

  3. How did Isaac respond to the arguments over wells?

  4. What did Isaac's rivals finally say?

Think About It

  1. Isaac chose peace instead of fighting. When is it hard for you to let something go?

  2. What good habits of faith would you like to pass on to others?

Memory Verse

Genesis 26 · Grade 5

The Lord Has Made Room

Name Date

Read and Think

In Genesis 26, God personally confirms the Abrahamic covenant to Isaac: I will be with you, and will bless you. He added, In your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed. God grounds this promise in Abraham's obedience, and the chapter shows that the covenant is now Isaac's. Isaac obeys by staying in Gerar during the famine instead of going to Egypt.

The chapter is honest about Isaac's weakness. Fearing the men of Gerar, he repeats his father's deception about his wife. Abimelech discovers the truth and rebukes him. Still, God's blessing is undeserved and abundant: Isaac sows and reaps a hundredfold, and he becomes very wealthy. Prosperity provokes envy, and the Philistines stop up Abraham's wells and force Isaac to leave.

Isaac reopens his father's wells and gives them his father's names, honoring his heritage. When the herdsmen quarrel over Esek (contention) and Sitnah (enmity), he moves on until he finds Rehoboth (broad places). At Beersheba God reassures him, and Isaac builds an altar, calls on the Lord, and pitches his tent: worship comes before settling down. Abimelech then seeks a treaty, recognizing the Lord's blessing. The chapter ends sadly: Esau's marriages to Hittite women grieve Isaac and Rebekah.

Show What You Know

  1. How did Isaac show obedience at the start of the chapter?

  2. What does Isaac's prosperity show about God's blessing?

  3. Why did Isaac give the wells his father's names?

  4. What do the names Esek, Sitnah and Rehoboth show about Isaac's journey?

  5. What order of actions at Beersheba shows Isaac's priorities?

Think About It

  1. Isaac put worship before settling in. How can you put God first in your daily routine?

  2. In the New Testament, Romans 12:18 tells believers to live at peace with everyone as much as they can. How does Isaac model this?

Memory Verse
