¹⁷ The shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and saved them, and ^(A)watered their flock.

¹⁰ Now as soon as Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob came near and rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

²⁵ When Abraham reproved Abimelech about a well of water that Abimelech's servants ^(A)had seized,

¹² He looked this way and that, and seeing no one, he ^(A)struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

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

¹⁷ So Isaac departed from there and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there. ¹⁸ And Isaac dug again the wells of water that had been dug in the days of Abraham his father, which the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham. And ^(B)he gave them the names that his father had given them. ¹⁹ But when Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of spring water, ²⁰ the herdsmen of Gerar ^(C)quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” So he called the name of the well Esek,^[a] because they contended with him. ²¹ Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that also, so he called its name Sitnah.^{[b] 22} And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth,^[c] saying, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.”
