Genesis 26:18-21

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁸ Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the days of his father Abraham and that the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died. He gave them the same names his father had given them. ¹⁹ Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of spring^[a] water there. ²⁰ But the herdsmen of Gerar quarrelled with Isaac’s herdsmen and said, ‘The water is ours! ’ So he named the well Esek^[b] because they argued with him.^{(A) 21} Then they dug another well and quarrelled over that one also, so he named it Sitnah.^[c]
