21 They dug another well, but they quarreled over this one as well, and he called it Sitnah.[a] 22 He thus moved away from there and dug another well over which they did not quarrel. He called it Rehoboth[b] and said, “Now the Lord has given us room so that we might prosper in the land.”
23 From there he went to Beer-sheba.
