Gen. 26:7      Gen. 26:9

Genesis 26:8

It happened that after he had been there a long time, the Philistine king Avimelech looked out of a window and saw Isaac (Hebr. Yitzchak) laughing (fooling around, having fun, joking, "playfully fighting" – Hebr. tsachaq) with Rebekah, his wife.
[Hebrew tsachaq is similar to Isaac's name, which means laughter, see Gen. 17:17, 19. The same word is used by Potiphar's wife when she accuses Joseph of assaulting her, see Gen. 39:14, 17. The word is also used to describe how Ishmael mocked Isaac, see Gen. 21:9. All of this reinforces how Isaac ignored and "mocked" God's promise of protection, and lied to protect himself.]
