11. "Whoever will touch the wife of this man will die a death."
12. Then Isaac sowed in that land, and he found, in that same year, one hundredfold. And the Lord blessed him.
13. And the man was enriched, and he continued prospering as well as increasing, until he became very great.
14. Likewise, he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very large family. Because of this, the Palestinians envied him,
15. so, at that time, they obstructed all the wells that the servants of his father Abraham had dug, filling them with soil.
16. It reached a point where Abimelech himself said to Isaac, "Move away from us, for you have become very much more powerful than we."
17. And departing, he then went toward the torrent of Gerar, and he dwelt there.
18. Again, he dug up other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had dug, and which, after his death, the Philistines had formerly obstructed. And he called them by the same names that his father had called them before.
19. And they dug in the torrent, and they found living water.
20. But in that place also the shepherds of Gerar argued against the shepherds of Isaac, by saying, "It is our water." For this reason, he called the name of the well, because of what had happened, 'Calumny.'
21. Then they dug up yet another one. And over that one also they fought, and he called it, 'Enmity.'
22. Advancing from there, he dug another well, over which they did not contend. And so he called its name, 'Latitude,' saying, "Now the Lord has expanded us and caused us to increase across the land."
23. Then he ascended from that place into Beersheba,
24. where the Lord appeared to him on the same night, saying: "I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring because of my servant Abraham."
