Genesis 26:20-22

20And the herdmenH7462 of GerarH1642 did striveH7378 with Isaac’sH3327 herdmenH7462, sayingH559, The waterH4325 is ours: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the wellH875 EsekH6230; because they stroveH6229 with him.1

21And they diggedH2658 anotherH312 wellH875, and stroveH7378 for that also: and he calledH7121 the name of itH8034 SitnahH7856.2

22And he removedH6275 from thence, and diggedH2658 anotherH312 wellH875; and for that they stroveH7378 not: and he calledH7121 the name of itH8034 RehobothH7344; and he saidH559, For nowH6258 YhwhH3068 hath made roomH7337 for us, and we shall be fruitfulH6509 in the landH776.3
