Genesis 26:12-25

12And IsaacH3327 sowedH2232 in that landH776, and received in the same yearH8141 a hundredfold; and Jehovah blessedH1288 him.

13And the manH376 becameH1431 greatH1431, and he becameH1431 continually greaterH1431, until he was veryH3966 greatH1431.

14And he had possessions of flocksH6629, and possessions of herdsH1241, and a greatH7227 number of servants; and the PhilistinesH6430 envied him.

15And all the wellsH875 that his father's servantsH5650 had dugH2658 in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH85 his fatherH1, the PhilistinesH6430 stoppedH5640 them and filledH4390 them with earthH6083.

16And AbimelechH40 saidH559 to IsaacH3327, Go from us; for thou art become much mightier than we.

17And IsaacH3327 departed thence, and pitched his campH2583 in the valley of GerarH1642, and dweltH3427 there.

18And IsaacH3327 dugH2658 again the wellsH875 of waterH4325 that they had dugH2658 in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH85 his fatherH1, and that the PhilistinesH6430 had stoppedH5640 after the deathH4194 of AbrahamH85; and he calledH7121 their namesH8034 after the namesH8034 by which his fatherH1 had calledH7121 them.

19And Isaac's servantsH5650 dug in the valley, and foundH4672 there a wellH875 of springing waterH4325.

20But the shepherds of GerarH1642 strove with Isaac's shepherds, sayingH559, The waterH4325 is ours. And he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the wellH875 Esek, because they had quarrelled with him.

21And they dug another wellH875, and they strove for that alsoH1571; and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it Sitnah.

22And he removed thence and dugH2658 another wellH875; and they did not strive for that. And he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it RehobothH7344, and saidH559, For nowH6258 Jehovah has madeH7337 room for us, and we shall be fruitfulH6509 in the landH776.

23And he wentH5927 up thence to Beer-sheba.

24And Jehovah appearedH7200 to him the same nightH3915, and saidH559, I am the 1GodH430 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 builtH1129 an altarH4196 there, and calledH7121 upon the nameH8034 of Jehovah. And he pitchedH5186 his tentH168 there; and there Isaac's servantsH5650 dugH3738 a wellH875.
