Genesis 26:21 in context

  1. 19Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
  2. 20The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
  3. 21They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name Sitnah.
  4. 22He left that place, and dug another well. They didn’t argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, “For now Yahweh has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
  5. 23He went up from there to Beersheba.
