BrLXX Ἐγένετο δὲ πολυχρόνιος ἐκεῖ· καὶ παρακύψας Ἀβιμέλεχ ὁ βασιλεὺς Γεράρων διὰ τῆς θυρίδος, εἶδε τὸν Ἰσαὰκ παίζοντα μετὰ Ῥεβέκκας τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ.
(Egeneto de poluⱪronios ekei; kai parakupsas Abimeleⱪ ho basileus Gerarōn dia taʸs thuridos, eide ton Isaʼak paizonta meta Ɽebekkas taʸs gunaikos autou. )
26:8 Abimelech . . . saw Isaac caressing Rebekah: The word for “caressing” (Hebrew metsakheq) is the same as the word used for Ishmael’s “making fun of” Isaac (21:9); the word is related to the name “Isaac” (Hebrew yitskhaq). It is as though Isaac’s lapse of faith made fun of Abimelech and made a mockery of Rebekah and the great promise embodied in Isaac’s name.

יִצְחָק֙ מְצַחֵ֔ק אֵ֖ת רִבְקָ֥ה אִשְׁתּֽוֹ
Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) caressing DOM Riⱱqāh his/its=wife/woman
There is a word play here in Hebrew (since Isaac and laughing come from the same root word). Isaac may have been laughing or flirting with Rebekah or physically touching her in an affectionate or intimate way, as a husband would do with his wife. Alternate translation: “that Isaac was flirting with his wife Rebekah.”
