NET Notes

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

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

³sn 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.
