Verses on 2. A valley

  1. So Yitz'chak left, set up camp in Vadi G'rar and lived there.

  2. Yitz'chak reopened the wells which had been dug during the lifetime of Avraham his father, the ones the P'lishtim had stopped up after Avraham died, and called them by the names his father had used for them.

  3. Yitz'chak's servants dug in the vadi and uncovered a spring of running water.

  4. But the herdsmen of G'rar quarreled with Yitz'chak's herdsmen, claiming, "That water is ours!" So he called the well 'Esek [quarrel], because they quarreled with him.

  5. They dug another well and quarreled over that one too. So he called it Sitnah [enmity].

  6. He went away from there and dug another well, and over that one they didn't quarrel. So he called it Rechovot [wide open spaces] and said, "Because now ADONAI has made room for us, and we will be productive in the land."
