Genesis 26:20-22
20the 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. 21Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that also, so he called its name Sitnah. ▼▼ Sitnah means enmity
22And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth, ▼▼ Rehoboth means broad places, or room
saying, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.”
