NETBible

His servants 1  dug another well, but they quarreled over it too, so Isaac named it 2  Sitnah. 3 

NET Notes

1 tn Heb “they”; the referent (Isaac’s servants) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Heb “and he called its name.” The referent (Isaac) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 sn The name Sitnah (שִׂטְנָה, sitnah) is derived from a Hebrew verbal root meaning “to oppose; to be an adversary” (cf. Job 1:6). The name was a reminder that the digging of this well caused “opposition” from the Philistines.
