Genesis 26:20-22

The Voice

²⁰ the herders of Gerar began quarreling with Isaac’s herders.

So Isaac named this well Esek, which means “contention,” because of the arguments he had with the herders. ²¹ Isaac’s men dug another well, and the water wars started again. So Isaac called it Sitnah, which means “enmity.” ²² Isaac didn’t want any more trouble, so he moved on from there and dug yet another well. At last, they didn’t quarrel over this one, so Isaac named this well Rehoboth, which means “wide spaces.”
