¹⁷ And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and 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 rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

²⁵ And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.

¹⁵ Now all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.

¹⁶ And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us. For thou art much mightier than we.

¹⁷ And Isaac departed thence, and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

¹⁸ And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father. For the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. And he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.

¹⁹ And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

²⁰ And the herdsmen of Gerar strove with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, The water is ours. And he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.

²¹ And they digged another well, and they strove for that also. And he called the name of it Sitnah.

²² And he removed from thence, and digged another well. And for that they strove not. And he called the name of it Rehoboth. And he said, For now Jehovah hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

¹² And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
