Summary: Genesis 26 recounts key events in the life of Isaac, the son of Abraham. The chapter begins with a famine in the land, prompting Isaac to consider moving to Gerar, but God directs him to stay in the land of Canaan.

Overall, Genesis 26 illustrates God's ongoing covenant relationship and the significance of trust and obedience in the life of believers.
