Do not fill this in! ===Migration=== Isaac moved to ''[[Abraham#Hagar|Beer-lahai-roi]]'' after his father died.<ref>{{bibleverse|Genesis|25:11|HE}}</ref> When the land experienced famine, he moved to the [[Philistines|Philistine]] land of [[Gerar]] where his father once lived. This land was still under the control of [[Abimelech|King Abimelech]] as it was in the days of Abraham. Like his father, Isaac also pretended that Rebekah was his sister due to fear that Abimelech would kill him in order to take her. He had gone back to all of the wells that his father dug and saw that they were all stopped up with earth. The Philistines did this after Abraham died. So, Isaac unearthed them and began to dig for more wells all the way to [[Beersheba]], where he made a pact with Abimelech, just like in the day of his father.<ref>{{bibleverse|Genesis|26|HE}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
