|
|The men of the place asked him about his wife, and he said, "She is my sister." He was afraid to say, "She is my wife," because he said to himself, "The men of this place would kill me for Rebekah, because she is so lovely."

|
|Then Isaac re-delved the water wells that they had delved in the days of his father Abraham (the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham), and he gave them the same names that his father had given them.

|And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
|
|The shepherds of Gerar contended against the shepherds of Isaac, saying, "This water is ours!" Isaac called that wellspring Esek, because they behaved in an extortionate manner toward him.

|Isaac struck camp and left that place, and delved another well. They did not fight over that one, so Isaac called that well Rehoboth, saying, "Now the L<small>ORD</small> has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land."
|
|"Rehoboth" is close in Hebrew spelling to the word for "widen" or "make room."
