Genesis 26:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ Abimelech said to Isaac, “Move away from us because you have become too powerful among us.”

¹⁷ So Isaac moved away from there, camped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there. ¹⁸ Isaac dug out again the wells that were dug during the lifetime of his father Abraham. The Philistines had closed them up after Abraham’s death. Isaac gave them the same names his father had given them.
