Why Abimelech Sent Isaac Away Blessed of the LORD

Midrash Aggadah, Genesis 26:29

Curated by Arthur·Told by Maggid·

"As we have not touched you" — that we did not touch you, as it is said, "Whoever touches this man [or his wife shall surely be put to death]" (verse 11). "Only good" — that they did not do him a complete good. "And we sent you away in peace" — even though we said to you, "Go from us," we did not take anything of all that is yours, and therefore you are now blessed of the LORD.
