File:Isaac digs a well 001.jpg

Summary
Genesis 26:18 - 26:22

26:18. He dug again other wells, which the servants of his father, Abraham, had dug, and which, after his death, the Philistines had of old stopped up: and he called them by the same names, by which his father before had called them.

26:19. They dug in the torrent, and found living water:

Torrent. . .That is, a channel where sometimes a torrent or violent stream had run.

'''26:20. But there also the herdsmen of Gerara strove against the herdsmen of Isaac, saying: It is our water. Wherefore he called the name of the well, on occasion of that which had happened, Calumny.'''

26:21. They dug also another; and for that they quarreled likewise, and he called the name of it, Enmity.

26:22. Going forward from thence, he dug another well, for which they contended not; therefore he called the name thereof, Latitude, saying: Now has the Lord given us room, and made us to increase upon the earth.

Latitude. . .That is, wideness, or room.
