Scripture Post #1,547: *HUNDREDFOLD*

 

 

Genesis 26:12: 

"Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him."

Isaac sowed in a time of famine and received a *HUNDREDFOLD*.  (Gen. 26:1: "And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.")

Isaac was very wealthy. Abraham was rich and left Isaac, his son, everything he had. ("And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold." ~Genesis 13:2. 

"And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac." ~Genesis 25:5.)

Genesis chapter 26 verse 12 contains the very first mention of the word, "hundredfold" in the Bible.
