Gênesis 31:24-29
Then God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night and said to him,“ Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.”Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead when Laban overtook him, and Laban and his relatives camped there too.Then Laban said to Jacob,“ What have you done? You’ve deceived me, and you’ve carried off my daughters like captives in war.Why did you run off secretly and deceive me? Why didn’t you tell me, so I could send you away with joy and singing to the music of timbrels and harps?You didn’t even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. You have done a foolish thing.I have the power to harm you; but last night the God of your father said to me,‘ Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.’ (niv)

Then say to him,‘ The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to say to you: Let my people go, so that they may worship me in the wilderness. But until now you have not listened.This is what the Lord says: By this you will know that I am the Lord: With the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will be changed into blood.

Gênesis 26:14-33
He had so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.So all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the time of his father Abraham, the Philistines stopped up, filling them with earth.Then Abimelek said to Isaac,“ Move away from us; you have become too powerful for us.”So Isaac moved away from there and encamped in the Valley of Gerar, where he settled.Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the same names his father had given them.Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water there.But the herders of Gerar quarreled with those of Isaac and said,“ The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they disputed with him.Then they dug another well, but they quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarreled over it. He named it Rehoboth, saying,“ Now the Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the land.”From there he went up to Beersheba.That night the Lord appeared to him and said,“ I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bless you and will increase the number of your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham.”Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the Lord. There he pitched his tent, and there his servants dug a well.Meanwhile, Abimelek had come to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his personal adviser and Phicol the commander of his forces.Isaac asked them,“ Why have you come to me, since you were hostile to me and sent me away?”They answered,“ We saw clearly that the Lord was with you; so we said,‘ There ought to be a sworn agreement between us’— between us and you. Let us make a treaty with youthat you will do us no harm, just as we did not harm you but always treated you well and sent you away peacefully. And now you are blessed by the Lord.”Isaac then made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.Early the next morning the men swore an oath to each other. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they went away peacefully.That day Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. They said,“ We’ve found water!”He called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the town has been Beersheba. (niv)

Gênesis 20:1-7
Now Abraham moved on from there into the region of the Negev and lived between Kadesh and Shur. For a while he stayed in Gerar,and there Abraham said of his wife Sarah,“ She is my sister.” Then Abimelek king of Gerar sent for Sarah and took her.But God came to Abimelek in a dream one night and said to him,“ You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken; she is a married woman.”Now Abimelek had not gone near her, so he said,“ Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation?Did he not say to me,‘ She is my sister,’ and didn’t she also say,‘ He is my brother’? I have done this with a clear conscience and clean hands.”Then God said to him in the dream,“ Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against me. That is why I did not let you touch her.Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return her, you may be sure that you and all who belong to you will die.” (niv)
