Genesis 26:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 26:20

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. ^aHe called them by the names which his father had called them.

19 Also Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found a well of running water there.

20 But the herdsmen of Gerar ^aquarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” So he called the name of the well¹ Esek, because they quarreled with him.

21 Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that one also. So he called its name¹ Sitnah.

22 And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name¹ Rehoboth, because he said, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall ^abe fruitful in the land.”
