Genesis 26:19-25

19Then Isaac’sH3327 servantsH5650 dugH2658 in the valleyH5158 and foundH4672 a wellH875 of freshH2416 waterH43251 thereH8033. 20But the herdsmenH7462 of GerarH1642 quarreledH7378 withH5973 Isaac’sH3327 herdsmenH7462 and saidH559, “The water is oursH4325!” So he namedH7121H8034 the wellH875 EsekH6230,2 becauseH3588 they contendedH6229 with himH5973.

21Then they dugH2658 anotherH312 wellH875 and quarreledH7378 overH5921 that one alsoH1571; so he namedH7121 itH8034 SitnahH7856.3

22He moved onH6275 from thereH8033 and dugH2658H875 anotherH312 well, and they did notH3808 quarrelH7378 over itH5921. He namedH7121 itH8034 RehobothH73444 and saidH559, “At lastH3588H6258 the LORDH3068 has made roomH7337 for us, and we will be fruitfulH6509 in the landH776.”

23From thereH8033 Isaac went upH5927 to BeershebaH884, 24and thatH1931 nightH3915 the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to himH413 and saidH559, “IH595 am the GodH430 of your fatherH1 AbrahamH85. Do notH408 be afraidH3372, forH3588 IH595 am with youH854. I will blessH1288 you and multiplyH7235 your descendantsH2233 for the sakeH5668 of My servantH5650 AbrahamH85.”

25So Isaac builtH1129 an altarH4196 thereH8033 and calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, and he pitchedH5186 his tentH168 thereH8033. His servantsH5650 also dugH3738 a wellH875 thereH8033.
