Genesis 26:12-1

(J). Isaac's Prosperity

12. an hundredfold Lit. "a hundred measures." LXX ἑκατοστεύουσαν κριθήν = "barley bearing a hundredfold," mistaking the Hebrew word for "measure," and confusing it with that for "barley." So also the Syriac Pesh. "An hundredfold," i.e. one hundred for one.

Isaac's agricultural pursuits offer a contrast to the roaming life of a nomad. But see, in Jacob's career, Genesis 30:14; Genesis 37:7.

blessed him See Genesis 26:3; Genesis 24:1; Genesis 24:35.
