11 And Abimilech commanded all his people saying, He that shall touch this man or his wife, he shall undoubtedly dye the death. 12 Now Isaac sowing in that land, he got every year an hundred measures: so did Jehovah bless him. 13 So did that man increase, and grow on with a continual increase, even until he was very rich. 14 For he had great possession of flocks, and possession of droves, and so great a family, that the Philistines envied him▪ ⟨p. 93⟩15 And they dammed up all the Welles, which his fathers servants had digged, in the time of his father Abraham filling them up with earth. 16 So as Abimilech said unto Isaac, Depart from us, for thou art made more mightier then we. 17 Therefore Isaac departed from thence, and pitching his tents in the valley of Gerar, he settled there, 18 (For Isaac had digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the time of Abraham his father, and which the Philistines had dammed up after the death of Abraham: & he had given them names, according to the names which his father had given them.) 19 And the servants of Isaac digging in the same valley, they found there a well of living waters. 20 Now the Shepherds of Gerar, contended with Isaacks shepherds saying: These waters are ours: Wherefore they called the name of that well Hesek, because they had moved strife with them of their own accord. 21 Afterwards when they had digged another Well, they contended also for that. Wherefore he called the name of that Sitnah.
11 And Abimilech commaunded all his people saying, He that shall touch this man or his wife, he shall vndoutedly dye the death. 12 Now Isaack sowing in that lande, he got euery yeere an hundred measures: so did Iehoua blesse him. 13 So did that man increase, and growe on with a continual increase, euen vntill he was very rich. 14 For hee had great possession of flockes, and possession of droues, and so great a familie, that the Philistians inuied him▪ ⟨p. 93⟩15 And they dammed vp all the Welles, which his fathers seruantes had digged, in the time of his father Abraham filling them vp with earth. 16 So as Abimilech said vnto Isaack, Departe from vs, for thou art made more mightier then we. 17 Therefore Isaack departed from thence, and pitching his tentes in the valley of Gerar, he setled there, 18 (For Isaack had digged againe the wels of water, which they had digged in the time of Abraham his father, and which the Philistines had dammed vp after the death of Abraham: & he had giuen them names, according to the names which his father had giuen them.) 19 And the seruants of Isaack digging in the same valey, they found there a well of liuing waters. 20 Now the Shepheards of Gerar, contended with Isaacks shepheardes saying: These waters are ours: Wherefore they called the name of that wel Hesek, because they had mooued strife with them of their owne accorde. 21 Afterwards when they had digged another Wel, they contended also for that. Wherfore he called the name of that Sitnah.
