Springs would well up from the earth and water the whole surface of the ground.

So tell them you are my sister so that it may go well for me because of you and my life will be spared on account of you."

and he did treat Abram well on account of her. Abram received sheep and cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

So Abram went up from Egypt into the Negev. He took his wife and all his possessions with him, as well as Lot.

Lot looked up and saw the whole region of the Jordan. He noticed that all of it was well-watered (before the Lord obliterated Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, all the way to Zoar.

Then they attacked En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh) again, and they conquered all the territory of the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who were living in Hazazon Tamar.

He retrieved all the stolen property. He also brought back his nephew Lot and his possessions, as well as the women and the rest of the people.

That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. (It is located between Kadesh and Bered.)

"Very well," he replied, "I will grant this request too and will not overthrow the town you mentioned.

So they made their father drunk that night as well, and the younger one came and had sexual relations with him. But he was not aware that she had sexual relations with him and then got up.

Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, as well as his wife and female slaves so that they were able to have children.

Then God enabled Hagar to see a well of water. She went over and filled the skin with water, and then gave the boy a drink.

But Abraham lodged a complaint against Abimelech concerning a well that Abimelech's servants had seized.

He replied, "You must take these seven ewe lambs from my hand as legal proof that I dug this well."

Now Abraham was old, well advanced in years, and the Lord had blessed him in everything.

He made the camels kneel down by the well outside the city. It was evening, the time when the women would go out to draw water.

She quickly emptied her jug into the watering trough and ran back to the well to draw more water until she had drawn enough for all his camels.

Now, if you will show faithful love to my master, tell me. But if not, tell me as well, so that I may go on my way."

So the Philistines took dirt and filled up all the wells that his father's servants had dug back in the days of his father Abraham.

Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug back in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after Abraham died. Isaac gave these wells the same names his father had given them.

When Isaac's servants dug in the valley and discovered a well with fresh flowing water there,

the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water belongs to us!" So Isaac named the well Esek because they argued with him about it.

His servants dug another well, but they quarreled over it too, so Isaac named it Sitnah.

Then he moved away from there and dug another well. They did not quarrel over it, so Isaac named it Rehoboth, saying, "For now the Lord has made room for us, and we will prosper in the land."

Then Isaac built an altar there and worshiped the Lord. He pitched his tent there, and his servants dug a well.

so that you will not do us any harm, just as we have not harmed you, but have always treated you well before sending you away in peace. Now you are blessed by the Lord."

That day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well they had dug. "We've found water," they reported.

When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, as well as Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

He saw in the field a well with three flocks of sheep lying beside it, because the flocks were watered from that well. Now a large stone covered the mouth of the well.

When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone off the mouth of the well and water the sheep. Then they would put the stone back in its place over the well's mouth.

"Is he well?" Jacob asked. They replied, "He is well. Now look, here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep."

"We can't," they said, "until all the flocks are gathered and the stone is rolled off the mouth of the well. Then we water the sheep."

When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his uncle Laban, and the sheep of his uncle Laban, he went over and rolled the stone off the mouth of the well and watered the sheep of his uncle Laban.

Jacob had marital relations with Rachel as well. He loved Rachel more than Leah, so he worked for Laban for seven more years.

"You know how I have worked for you," Jacob replied, "and how well your livestock have fared under my care.

Jacob was very afraid and upset. So he divided the people who were with him into two camps, as well as the flocks, herds, and camels.

Rescue me, I pray, from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid he will come and attack me, as well as the mothers with their children.

He also gave these instructions to the second and third servants, as well as all those who were following the herds, saying, "You must say the same thing to Esau when you meet him.

They took their flocks, herds, and donkeys, as well as everything in the city and in the surrounding fields.

The sons of Leah were Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, as well as Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph's care; he gave no thought to anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well built and good-looking.

But remember me when it goes well for you, and show me kindness. Make mention of me to Pharaoh and bring me out of this prison,

He asked them how they were doing. Then he said, "Is your aging father well, the one you spoke about? Is he still alive?"

"Your servant our father is well," they replied. "He is still alive." They bowed down in humility.

Now Israel's eyes were failing because of his age; he was not able to see well. So Joseph brought his sons near to him, and his father kissed them and embraced them.
