Genesis 31:24-29
However, God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night and said to him,“ Be careful that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad.”And Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his kinsmen camped in the hill country of Gilead.Then Laban said to Jacob,“ What have you done by deceiving me and carrying away my daughters like captives of the sword?Why did you flee secretly and deceive me, and did not tell me, so that I might have sent you away with joy and with songs, with tambourine and with lyre;and did not allow me to kiss my grandchildren and my daughters? Now you have done foolishly.It is in my power to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying,‘ Be careful not to speak either good or bad to Jacob.’

Exodus 7:16-17
And you shall say to him,‘ The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you, saying,“ Let My people go, so that they may serve Me in the wilderness. But behold, you have not listened up to now.”This is what the Lord says:“ By this you shall know that I am the Lord: behold, I am going to strike the water that is in the Nile with the staff that is in my hand, and it will be turned into blood.

Genesis 26:14-33
for he had possessions of flocks and herds, and a great household, so that the Philistines envied him.Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham, the Philistines stopped up by filling them with dirt.Then Abimelech said to Isaac,“ Go away from us, for you are too powerful for us.”So Isaac departed from there and camped in the Valley of Gerar, and settled there.Then Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the same names which his father had given them.But when Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found there a well of flowing water,the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with the herdsmen of Isaac, saying,“ The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they argued with him.Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over it too, so he named it Sitnah.Then he moved away from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it; so he named it Rehoboth, for he said,“ At last the Lord has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”And he went up from there to Beersheba.And the Lord appeared to him the same night and said,“ I am the God of your father Abraham; Do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants, For the sake of My servant Abraham.”So he built an altar there and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there; and there Isaac’s servants dug a well.Then Abimelech came to him from Gerar with his adviser Ahuzzath, and Phicol the commander of his army.Isaac said to them,“ Why have you come to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?”They said,“ We have seen plainly that the Lord has been with you; so we said,‘ An oath must now be taken by us,’ that is, by you and us. So let us make a covenant with you,that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of the Lord.”Then he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.In the morning they got up early and exchanged oaths; then Isaac sent them away, and they left him in peace.Now it came about on the same day, that Isaac’s servants came in and told him about the well which they had dug, and said to him,“ We have found water.”So he called it Shibah; therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.

Genesis 20:1-7
Now Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the Negev, and settled between Kadesh and Shur; then he lived for a time in Gerar.And Abraham said of his wife Sarah,“ She is my sister.” So Abimelech king of Gerar sent men and took Sarah.But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him,“ Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is married.”Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said,“ Lord, will You kill a nation, even though blameless?Did he himself not say to me,‘ She is my sister’? And she herself said,‘ He is my brother.’ In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.”Then God said to him in the dream,“ Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also kept you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her.Now then, 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, know that you will certainly die, you and all who are yours.”

Now it came about, when Abram entered Egypt, that the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.Pharaoh’s officials saw her and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.Therefore he treated Abram well for her sake; and he gave him sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male servants and female servants, female donkeys, and camels.But the Lord struck Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
