And his wealth became very great, increasing more and more;

For he had great wealth of flocks and herds and great numbers of servants; so that the Philistines were full of envy.

And in great fear Isaac said, Who then is he who got meat and put it before me, and I took it all before you came, and gave him a blessing, and his it will be?
