¹⁵ Now the Philistines had stopped up all the wells ^(A)which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and they had filled them with earth.

¹⁸ And Isaac dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham. ^(A)He called them by the names which his father had called them.

²⁰ But the herdsmen of Gerar ^(A)quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” So he called the name of the well ^[a]Esek, because they quarreled with him. ²¹ Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that one also. So he called its name ^[b]Sitnah. ²² And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name ^[c]Rehoboth, because he said, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall ^(B)be fruitful in the land.”
