Genesis 26:22-33

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.

26Then AbimelechH40 wentH1980 to him from GerarH1642, and AhuzzathH276 his friend, and PhicolH6369 the captainH8269 of his hostH6635.

27And IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto them, Wherefore are ye comeH935 unto meH413, seeing ye hateH8130 meH413, and have sentH7971 meH413 awayH7971 from youH859?

28And they saidH559, WeH3588 sawH7200 plainlyH7200 that the LORDH3068 was with thee: and weH3588 saidH559, LetH4994 there nowH4994 be an oathH423 betwixt usH4994, evenH3588 betwixt usH4994 and thee, and letH4994 usH4994 makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with thee;

29that thou wilt doH6213 usH7971 noH3808 hurtH5060, as weH834 have notH3808 touchedH5060 thee, and as weH834 have doneH6213 unto thee nothingH3808 but goodH2896, and have sentH7971 thee awayH7971 in peaceH7965: thou art nowH6258 the blessedH1288 of the LORDH3068.

30And he madeH6213 them a feastH4960, and they didH6213 eatH398 and drinkH8354.

31And they roseH7925 upH7925 betimes in the morningH1242, and sware one to anotherH251: and IsaacH3327 sentH7971 them awayH7971, and they departed from him in peaceH7965.

32And it cameH935 to passH935 the sameH1931 dayH3117, that Isaac’sH3327 servantsH5650 cameH935, and toldH5046 him concerning the wellH875 whichH834 they had digged, and saidH559 unto him, WeH834 have foundH4672 waterH4325.

33And he calledH7121 it ShibahH7656: therefore the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 is Beer-sheba unto this dayH3117.
