12. Then Yitzchak sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and Hashem blessed him.
13. And the man became very prosperous, and went forward, and grew until he became gadol me'od:
14. For he had possession of tzon, and possession of herds, and many avadim; and the Pelishtim envied him.
15. For all the wells which avdei aviv had dug in the days of Avraham aviv, the Pelishtim had stopped them up, and filled them with dirt.
16. And Avimelech said unto Yitzchak, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
17. And Yitzchak departed from there, and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
18. And Yitzchak dug again the be'erot hamayim (wells of water), which they had dug in the days of Avraham aviv; for the Pelishtim had stopped them up after the mot Avraham; and he called their shemot after the shemot by which his av had called them.
19. And avdei Yitzchak dug in the valley, and found there a well of mayim chayyim.
20. And the herdmen of Gerar did quarrel with Yitzchak's herdmen, saying, The mayim is ours; and he called the shem of the well Esek (Contention); because they disputed with him.
21. And they dug another be'er, and feuded over that also; and he called the shem of it Sitnah (Enmity).
22. And he moved away from there, and dug another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the shem of it Rechovot (Broad Places); and he said, For now Hashem hath made rachav (room) for us, and we shall be fruitful in ha'aretz.
23. And he went up from there to Beer-Sheva.
24. And Hashem appeared unto him balailah hahu, and said, I am Elohei Avraham avichah; fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy zera for the sake of Avdi Avraham (My Servant Abraham).
25. And he built a Mizbe'ach there, and called upon the Shem of Hashem, and pitched his ohel there: and there avdei Yitzchak dug a well.
26. Then Avimelech went to him from Gerar, and Achuzzat his adviser, and Phichol the sar tz'va of his.
27. And Yitzchak said unto them, Why come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
28. And they said, We saw certainly that Hashem was with thee; and we said, Let there be now an oath between us, even between us and thee, and let us cut a brit (covenant) with thee;
29. That thou wilt do us no ra'ah, just as we have not touched thee, and just as we have done unto thee nothing but tov, and have sent thee away in shalom; thou art now the Beruch Hashem (the blessed of Hashem).
30. And he made them a mishteh (feast), and they did eat and drink.
31. And they rose up early in the boker, and swore one to another: and Yitzchak sent them away, and they departed from him in shalom.
32. And it came to pass the same day, that the avdei Yitzchak came, and told him concerning the be'er which they had dug, and said unto him, We have found mayim.
