1. Mosebok 26,22

Rehoboth
Conflict and reconciliationPeacePatienceGod's faithfulness

20 Men hyrdene i Gerar kranglet med Isaks hyrder og sa: «Vannet er vårt!» Så han kalte brønnen Esek, fordi de kranglet med ham.

21 Da gravde de en annen brønn, og de kranglet om den også; så han kalte den Sitnah.

Han flyttet derfra og gravde en annen brønn, og de kranglet ikke om den. Han kalte den Rehobot og sa: «Nå har Herren gitt oss rom, og vi skal blomstre i landet.»

23 Fra det stedet reiste han til Beersheba.

24 Den natten viste Herren seg for ham og sa: «Jeg er din far Abrahams Gud. Vær ikke redd, for jeg er med deg; jeg vil velsigne deg og mangfoldiggjøre dine etterkommere for min tjener Abrahams skyld.»
