20 the herdsmen of Gerar ^aquarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” So he called the name of the well Esek, ^{▼▼ Esek means contention} because they contended with him. 21 Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that also, so he called its name Sitnah. ^{▼▼ Sitnah means enmity} 22 And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it.
