Gênesis 26:20 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 26:20

And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen
About the well which was dug in the valley; and this shows it was near Gerar or at least was upon the border of the country, and so it was a disputable point to whom it belonged: saying, the water [is] ours;
though the well was dug by Isaac's servants, yet they laid claim to the water, pretending it was their ground, being on their borders: and he called the name of the well Esek:
which signifies "contention": the reason of the name follows, because they strove with him;
wrangled, contended, and disputed with him about whose right it was.

19 Os servos de Isaque cavaram no vale e descobriram um veio d'Ɣgua.
20 Mas os pastores de Gerar discutiram com os pastores de Isaque, dizendo: ā€œA Ć”gua Ć© nossa!ā€ Por isso Isaque deu ao poƧo o nome de Eseque, porque discutiram por causa dele.
21 Então os seus servos cavaram outro poço, mas eles também discutiram por causa dele; por isso o chamou Sitna.
22 Isaque mudou-se dali e cavou outro poƧo, e ninguĆ©m discutiu por causa dele. Deu-lhe o nome de Reobote, dizendo: ā€œAgora o SENHOR nos abriu espaƧo e prosperaremos na terraā€.
