Genesis 26:12-25
12And Isaac sowed in that land and 1reaped in the same year one hundredfold. And aYahweh blessed him, 13and the man abecame great and continued to grow greater until he became very great; 14and ahe had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and many servants, so that the Philistines were jealous of him. 15Now aall the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped up 1by filling them with earth. 16Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are 1,atoo mighty for us.” 17And Isaac departed from there and camped in the valley of Gerar and 1settled there.
The Quarrel over the Wells
18Then Isaac dug again the wells of water which 1had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, but the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham; and he 2called them by the same names by which his father had called them. 19Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found there a well of 1flowing water. 20And the herdsmen of Gerar acontended with the herdsmen of Isaac, saying, “The water is ours!” So he named the well 1Esek, because they quarreled with him. 21Then they dug another well, and they contended over it also, so he called it 1Sitnah. 22Then he moved away from there and dug another well, and they did not contend over it; so he named it 1Rehoboth, and he said, “2,aAt last Yahweh has made 3room for us, and we will be bfruitful in the land.”
23And he went up from there to aBeersheba. 24And Yahweh aappeared to him that night and said, “bI am the God of your father Abraham;cDo not fear, for I am with you.I dwill bless you and multiply your seed,For the sake of My servant Abraham.”
25So he built an aaltar there and called upon the name of Yahweh and pitched his tent there; and there Isaac’s servants dug out a well.
