Genesis 26:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁰ the herders of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herders, saying, “The water is ours.” So he called the well Esek,^[a] because they contended with him. ²¹ Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that one also; so he called it Sitnah.^{[b] 22} He moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it; so he called it Rehoboth,^[c] saying, “Now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.”
