And Isaac digged again, the wells of water which they digged in the days of Abraham his father which the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham, and gave them the same names which his father gave them.

insomuch that they stopped, and filled up with earth, all the wells which his father's servants digged in his father Abraham's time.

And he answered, "Seven lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well."

As Isaac's servants digged in the valley, they found a well of springing water.

Then digged they another well, and they strove for that also. Therefore called he it Sitnah.

And then he departed thence, and digged another well for the which they strove not: therefore called he it Rehoboth, saying, "The LORD hath now made us room, and we are increased upon the earth."

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

And the same day came Isaac's servants, and told him of a well which they had digged: and said unto him, that they had found water.

Wherefore she called the well, "the well of the living that seeth me" which well is between Kadesh and Bered.

And as he looked about, behold there was a well in the field, and three flocks of sheep lay thereby - for at that well were the flocks watered - and there lay a great stone at the well mouth.

And the manner was to bring the flocks thither, and to roll the stone from the well's mouth and to water the sheep, and to put the stone again upon the well's mouth unto his place.

And his father would not, but said, "I know it well my son, I know it well. He shall be also a people and shall be great. But of a truth his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall be full of people."
