Executive Summary
Scroll for more ↓Isaac, following in his father's footsteps, reopens and redoes the wells dug by Abraham, only to face strife with the Philistines. However, after digging a new well that brings forth abundant water, Isaac names it Rehoboth, signifying the Lord's provision for him and his family's future fruitfulness.
