¹⁷ Then the ^(A)shepherds came and ^(B)drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and ^(C)watered their flock.

¹⁰ And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near and ^(A)rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.

²⁵ Then Abraham rebuked Abimelech because of a well of water which Abimelech’s servants ^(A)had seized.

¹² So he looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he ^(A)killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

¹⁵ Now the Philistines had stopped up all the wells ^(A)which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and they had filled them with earth. ¹⁶ And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for ^(B)you are much mightier than we.”

¹⁷ Then Isaac departed from there and ^[a]pitched his tent in the Valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. ¹⁸ And Isaac dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham. ^(C)He called them by the names which his father had called them.

¹⁹ Also Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found a well of running water there. ²⁰ But the herdsmen of Gerar ^(D)quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” So he called the name of the well ^[b]Esek, because they quarreled with him. ²¹ Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that one also. So he called its name ^[c]Sitnah. ²² And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name ^[d]Rehoboth, because he said, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall ^(E)be fruitful in the land.”
