Genesis 26:19-25

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. 24And Jehovah appearedH7200 unto him the same nightH3915, and saidH559, I am the GodH430 of AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1: fearH3372 not, for I am with thee, and will blessH1288 thee, and multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 for my servantH5650 Abraham’s sakeH5668. 25And he builded an altarH4196 there, and calledH7121 upon the nameH8034 of Jehovah, and pitchedH5186 his tentH168 there: and there Isaac’s servantsH5650 digged a wellH875.
