Genesis 26:15-22

15Now 1allH3605 the wellsH875 whichH834 his father’sH1 servantsH5650 had dugH2658 in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH85 his fatherH1, the PhilistinesH6430 stoppedH5640 up 2by fillingH4390 them with earthH6083. 16Then AbimelechH40 saidH559 to IsaacH3327, “GoH1980 away from us, for you are 34tooH3966 powerfulH6105 for us.” 17And IsaacH3327 departedH1980 from thereH8033 and campedH2583 in the valleyH5158 of GerarH1642, and 5settledH3427 thereH8033.

18Then IsaacH3327 dugH2658 againH7725 the wellsH875 of waterH4325 whichH834 6had been dugH2658 in the daysH3117 of his fatherH1 AbrahamH85, for the PhilistinesH6430 had stoppedH5640 them up afterH310 the deathH4194 of AbrahamH85; and he 7gaveH7121 them the sameH8034 namesH8034 whichH834 his fatherH1 had 8givenH7121 them. 19But when Isaac’sH3327 servantsH5650 dugH2658 in the valleyH5158 and foundH4672 thereH8033 a wellH875 of 9flowingH2416 waterH4325, 20the herdsmenH7462 of GerarH1642 10quarreledH7378 with the herdsmenH7462 of IsaacH3327, sayingH559, “The waterH4325 is ours!” So he namedH7121H8034 the wellH875 11EsekH6230, becauseH3588 they contendedH6229 with him. 21Then they dugH2658 anotherH312 wellH875, and they quarreledH7378 overH5921 it tooH1571, so he namedH7121H8034 it 12SitnahH7856. 22He movedH6275 awayH6275 from thereH8033 and dugH2658 anotherH312 wellH875, and they did not quarrelH7378 overH5921 it; so he namedH7121H8034 it 13RehobothH7344, for he saidH559, “1415At lastH3588H6258 the LordH3068 has madeH7337 16roomH7337 for us, and we will be 17fruitfulH6509 in the landH776.”
