And the shepherds of Gerar will contend with Isaak's shepherds, saying; The waters are to us: and he will call the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.

And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they did not contend: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

Then said Laban, "Lo, I am content that it be according as thou hast said."

And it kindled to Jacob, and he will contend with Laban, and Jacob will answer and say to Laban, What my fault? what my sin that thou didst hotly pursue after me?

Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.

So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said to them, See that ye contend not by the way.

And Israel said unto Joseph, "Now I am content to die, insomuch I have seen thee, that thou art yet alive."
