Exodus 2:17

¹⁰When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.

²⁵Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.

¹²He looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one, he killed the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

¹⁵Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth. ¹⁶Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”

¹⁷Isaac departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.

¹⁸Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. He called their names after the names by which his father had called them. ¹⁹Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of flowing^[+] water. ²⁰The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” So he called the name of the well Esek,^[+] because they contended with him. ²¹They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. So he called its name Sitnah.^22[+] He left that place, and dug another well. They didn’t argue over that one. So he called it Rehoboth.^[+] He said, “For now the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
