Genesis 26:18-23

18And IsaacH3327 digged again the wellsH875 of waterH4325, which they had digged in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH85 his fatherH1; for the PhilistinesH6430 had stoppedH5640 them after the deathH4194 of AbrahamH85: and he calledH7121 their namesH8034 after the namesH8034 by which his fatherH1 had calledH7121 them. 19And Isaac’s servantsH5650 digged in the valley, and foundH4672 there a wellH875 of springing waterH4325. 20And the herdsmen of GerarH1642 strove with Isaac’s herdsmen, sayingH559, The waterH4325 is ours: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the wellH875 Esek, because they contendedH7378 with him. 21And they digged another wellH875, and they strove for that alsoH1571: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it Sitnah. 22And he removed from thence, and digged another wellH875; and for that they strove not: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it RehobothH7344; and he saidH559, For nowH6258 Jehovah hath madeH7337 room for us, and we shall be fruitfulH6509 in the landH776.

23And he wentH5927 up from thence to Beer-sheba.
