Genesis 26:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ Isaac dug the dirt out of the wells that Abraham had dug. After Abraham died the Philistines had filled them with dirt. Isaac gave these wells the same names as his father had given them.

¹⁹ Isaac's servants went to dig in the valley. They found another well there. It was full of fresh water. ²⁰ But the shepherds of Gerar quarrelled with Isaac's shepherds. They said, ‘The water belongs to us!’ So Isaac called that well Esek, because they quarrelled with him there.^[a]
