Genesis 26:18-25

18And IsaacH3327 digged againH7725 the wellsH875 of waterH4325, whichH834 they had digged in the daysH3117 of AbrahamH85 his fatherH1; for the PhilistinesH6430 had stoppedH5640 them afterH310 the deathH4194 of AbrahamH85: and he calledH7121 their namesH8034 afterH310 the namesH8034 by whichH834 his fatherH1 had calledH7121 them.

19And Isaac’sH3327 servantsH5650 digged in the valleyH5158, and foundH4672 there a wellH875 of springing waterH4325.

20And the herdmen of GerarH1642 strove with Isaac’sH3327 herdmen, sayingH559, The waterH4325 is ours: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the wellH875 EsekH6230; becauseH3588 they contendedH7378 with him.

21And they digged anotherH312 wellH875, and they strove for that also: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it SitnahH7856.

22And he removed from thence, and digged anotherH312 wellH875; and for that they strove notH3808: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it RehobothH7344; and he saidH559, For nowH6258 the LORDH3068 hath madeH7337 roomH7337 for usH5921, and weH3588 shall be fruitfulH6509 in the landH776.

23And he wentH5927 upH5927 from thence to Beer-sheba.

24And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto him the sameH1931 nightH3915, and saidH559, I am the GodH430 of AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1: fearH3372 notH408, for I am with thee, and will blessH1288 thee, and multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 for my servantH5650 Abraham’sH85 sakeH5668.

25And he builded an altarH4196 there, and calledH7121 uponH7121 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, and pitchedH5186 his tentH168 there: and there Isaac’sH3327 servantsH5650 digged a wellH875.
