Genesis 26:20 in Context — Genesis 26
18 E voltou a abrir Isaque os poços de água que haviam aberto nos dias de Abraão seu pai, e que os filisteus haviam fechado, depois de Abraão ter morrido; e chamou-os pelos nomes que seu pai os havia chamado.
19 E os servos de Isaque cavaram no vale, e acharam ali um poço de águas vivas.
20 E os pastores de Gerar brigaram com os pastores de Isaque, dizendo: A água é nossa: por isso chamou o nome do poço Eseque, porque haviam brigado com ele.
21 E abriram outro poço, e também brigaram sobre ele: e chamou seu nome Sitna.
22 E apartou-se dali, e abriu outro poço, e não brigaram sobre ele: e chamou seu nome Reobote, e disse: Porque agora nos fez alargar o SENHOR e frutificaremos na terra.
