Genesis 26:22-33

22And he departedH6275 from there, and dugH2658 anotherH312 wellH875; and for that they did not contendH7378: and he calledH7121 the name of itH8034 RehobothH7344; and he saidH559, For nowH6258 the LORDH3068 hath made roomH7337 for us, and we shall be fruitfulH6509 in the landH776.1 23And he went upH5927 from there to BeershebaH884. 24And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to him the same nightH3915, and saidH559, I am the GodH430 of AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1: fearH3372 not, for I am withH854 thee, and will blessH1288 thee, and multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 for my servantH5650 Abraham’sH85 sake. 25And he builtH1129 an altarH4196 there, and calledH7121 upon the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, and pitchedH5186 his tentH168 there: and there Isaac’sH3327 servantsH5650 dugH3738 a wellH875.

26Then AbimelechH40 wentH1980 to him from GerarH1642, and AhuzzathH276 one of his friendsH4828, and PhicholH6369 the chief captainH8269 of his armyH6635. 27And IsaacH3327 saidH559 to them, WhyH4069 comeH935 ye to me, seeing ye hateH8130 me, and have sent me awayH7971 from you? 28And they saidH559, We sawH7200 certainlyH7200 that the LORDH3068 was with thee: and we saidH559, Let there be now an oathH423 betweenH996 us, even betweenH996 us and thee, and let us makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with thee;2 29That thou wilt doH6213 us no harmH7451, as we have not touchedH5060 thee, and as we have doneH6213 to thee nothing butH7535 goodH2896, and have sent thee awayH7971 in peaceH7965: thou art nowH6258 the blessedH1288 of the LORDH3068.3 30And he madeH6213 them a feastH4960, and they ateH398 and drankH8354. 31And they rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and sworeH7650 oneH376 to anotherH251: and IsaacH3327 sent them awayH7971, and they departedH3212 from him in peaceH7965. 32And it came to pass the same dayH3117, that Isaac’sH3327 servantsH5650 cameH935, and toldH5046 him concerningH182 the wellH875 which they had dugH2658, and saidH559 to him, We have foundH4672 waterH4325. 33And he calledH7121 it ShebahH7656: therefore the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 is BeershebaH884 to this dayH3117.45
