Genesis 26:23 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 26:23

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.”

23 Then he went up from there to Beersheba.

24 And the Lord ^aappeared to him the same night and said, ^b“I am the God of your father Abraham; ^cdo not fear, for ^dI am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for My servant Abraham’s sake.”

25 So he ^abuilt an altar there and ^bcalled on the name of the Lord, and he pitched his tent there; and there Isaac’s servants dug a well.

26 Then Abimelech came to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath, one of his friends, ^aand Phichol the commander of his army.

27 And Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, ^asince you hate me and have ^bsent me away from you?”
