Genesis 26:13-19 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

13. and Isaac was so successful that he became very rich.

14. In fact, the Philistines were jealous of the large number of sheep, goats, and slaves that Isaac owned,

15. and they stopped up the wells that Abraham's servants had dug before his death.

16. Finally, Abimelech said, “Isaac, I want you to leave our country. You have become too powerful to stay here.”

17. Isaac left and settled in Gerar Valley,

18. where he cleaned out those wells that the Philistines had stopped up. Isaac also gave each of the wells the same name that Abraham had given to them.

19. While his servants were digging in the valley, they found a spring-fed well.
