And Isaac again dug the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father. For the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. And he called their names after the names by which his father had called

Now all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with soil.

And he said, These seven ewe lambs thou shall take from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.

And Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

And they dug another well, and they strove for that also. And he called the name of it Sitnah.

And he moved from there, and dug another well, and they did not strive for that. And he called the name of it Rehoboth. And he said, For now LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of LORD, and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants dug a well.

And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, We have found water.

My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die. In my grave which I have dug for me in the land of Canaan, there shall thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.

And he looked, and, behold, a well in the field. And, lo, three flocks of sheep were laying there by it, for they watered the flocks out of that well. And the stone upon the well's mouth was great.

If thou do well, shall thou not be accepted? And if thou do not well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire shall be for thee, and thou shall rule over it.

And all the flocks were gathered there. And they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in its place.

And he said to them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well. And, behold, Rachel his daughter comes with the sheep.

And he said to him, Go now, see whether it is well with thy brothers, and well with the flock, and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
