Genesis 26:15-22
26:15 So the Philistines took dirt and filled up
all the wells that his father’s servants had dug back in the days of his father Abraham.
26:16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Leave us and go elsewhere, for you have become much more powerful than we are.”
26:17 So Isaac left there and settled in the Gerar Valley.
26:18 Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug back in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after Abraham died. Isaac gave these wells the same names his father had given them.
26:19 When Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well with fresh flowing water there,
26:20 the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water belongs to us!” So Isaac named the well Esek because they argued with him about it.
26:21 His servants dug another well, but they quarreled over it too, so Isaac named it Sitnah.
26:22 Then he moved away from there and dug another well. They did not quarrel over it, so Isaac named it Rehoboth, saying, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we will prosper in the land.”
Genesis 29:8
29:8 “We can’t,” they said, “until all the flocks are gathered and the stone is rolled off the mouth of the well. Then we water
the sheep.”
Exodus 2:15-17
2:15 When Pharaoh heard
about this event,
he sought to kill Moses. So Moses fled
from Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian,
and he settled
by a certain well.
2:16 Now a priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and began to draw water and fill the troughs in order to water their father’s flock.
2:17 When some shepherds came and drove them away, Moses came up and defended them and then watered their flock.

all, and to convict every person
of all their thoroughly ungodly deeds
that they have committed,
and of all the harsh words that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

than a hundred blows on a fool.
