Genesis 24:27

24:27 saying “Praised be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned his faithful love ¹  for my master! The Lord has led me ²  to the house ³  of my master’s relatives!” ⁴ 

Genesis 26:22

26:22 Then he moved away from there and dug another well. They did not quarrel over it, so Isaac ⁵  named it ⁶  Rehoboth, ⁷  saying, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we will prosper in the land.”

[24:27]  ¹ tn Heb “his faithfulness and his commitment.”

[24:27]  ² tn Heb “As for me – in the way the Lord led me.”

[24:27]  ³ tn Here “house” is an adverbial accusative of termination.

[24:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “brothers.”

[26:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Isaac) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[26:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “and he called its name.”

[26:22]  ⁷ sn The name Rehoboth (רְהֹבוֹת, rehovot) is derived from a verbal root meaning “to make room.” The name was a reminder that God had made room for them. The story shows Isaac’s patience with the opposition; it also shows how God’s blessing outdistanced the men of Gerar. They could not stop it or seize it any longer.
