Genesis 26:12-24

12Now IsaacH3327 sowedH2232 in that landH776 and 1reapedH4672 in the sameH1931 yearH8141 a hundredfoldH3967H8180. And 2the LordH3068 blessedH1288 him, 13and the manH376 3becameH1431 richH1431, and continuedH1980 to growH1432 4richerH1432 untilH5704 he becameH1431 veryH3966 5wealthyH1431; 14for 6he hadH1961 possessionsH4735 of flocksH6629 7and herdsH1241 and a greatH7227 householdH5657, so that the PhilistinesH6430 enviedH7065 him. 15Now 8allH3605 the wellsH875 whichH834 his father’sH1 servantsH5650 had dugH2658 in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH85 his fatherH1, the PhilistinesH6430 stoppedH5640 up 9by fillingH4390 them with earthH6083. 16Then AbimelechH40 saidH559 to IsaacH3327, “GoH1980 away from us, for you are 1011tooH3966 powerfulH6105 for us.” 17And IsaacH3327 departedH1980 from thereH8033 and campedH2583 in the valleyH5158 of GerarH1642, and 12settledH3427 thereH8033.

18Then IsaacH3327 dugH2658 againH7725 the wellsH875 of waterH4325 whichH834 13had been dugH2658 in the daysH3117 of his fatherH1 AbrahamH85, for the PhilistinesH6430 had stoppedH5640 them up afterH310 the deathH4194 of AbrahamH85; and he 14gaveH7121 them the sameH8034 namesH8034 whichH834 his fatherH1 had 15givenH7121 them. 19But when Isaac’sH3327 servantsH5650 dugH2658 in the valleyH5158 and foundH4672 thereH8033 a wellH875 of 16flowingH2416 waterH4325, 20the herdsmenH7462 of GerarH1642 17quarreledH7378 with the herdsmenH7462 of IsaacH3327, sayingH559, “The waterH4325 is ours!” So he namedH7121H8034 the wellH875 18EsekH6230, becauseH3588 they contendedH6229 with him. 21Then they dugH2658 anotherH312 wellH875, and they quarreledH7378 overH5921 it tooH1571, so he namedH7121H8034 it 19SitnahH7856. 22He movedH6275 awayH6275 from thereH8033 and dugH2658 anotherH312 wellH875, and they did not quarrelH7378 overH5921 it; so he namedH7121H8034 it 20RehobothH7344, for he saidH559, “2122At lastH3588H6258 the LordH3068 has madeH7337 23roomH7337 for us, and we will be 24fruitfulH6509 in the landH776.”

23Then he wentH5927 up from thereH8033 to 25BeershebaH884. 24The LordH3068 26appearedH7200 to him the sameH1931 nightH3915 and saidH559, “27I am the GodH430 of your fatherH1 AbrahamH85; 28Do not fearH3372, for I am with you. I 29will blessH1288 you, and multiplyH7235 your 30descendantsH2233, For the sakeH5668 of My servantH5650 AbrahamH85.”
