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.
