Genesis Chp 26 Verses 19-22 Chp 34-35

Gen 26:19 And Isaac'sH3327 servantsH5650 diggedH2658 in the valley,H5158 and foundH4672 thereH8033 a wellH875 of springingH2416 water.H4325

Gen 26:20 And the herdmenH7462 of GerarH1642 did striveH7378 withH5973 Isaac'sH3327 herdmen,H7462 saying,H559 The waterH4325 is ours: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the wellH875 Esek;H6230 becauseH3588 they stroveH6229 withH5973 him.

Gen 26:21 And they diggedH2658 anotherH312 well,H875 and stroveH7378 forH5921 that also:H1571 and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it Sitnah.H7856

Gen 26:22 And he removedH6275 from thence,H4480 H8033 and diggedH2658 anotherH312 well;H875 and forH5921 that they stroveH7378 not:H3808 and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it Rehoboth;H7344 and he said,H559 ForH3588 nowH6258 the LORDH3068 hath made roomH7337 for us, and we shall be fruitfulH6509 in the land.H776

Gen 26:34 And EsauH6215 wasH1961 fortyH705 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he tookH3947 to wifeH802 (H853) JudithH3067 the daughterH1323 of BeeriH882 the Hittite,H2850 and BashemathH1315 the daughterH1323 of ElonH356 the Hittite:H2850

Gen 26:35 Which wereH1961 a griefH4786 of mindH7307 unto IsaacH3327 and to Rebekah.H7259

Our own hard work sometimes is claimed by others, do we sit and quarrel or do we move on and strive again, God honors and blesses us even more, those shepherds struggled with Isaac, for which he left those two wells and moved on, on the third one, no one came to struggle with him. Isaac’s immediate reaction, For now the LORD hath made room, When God gives no one will come to struggle with you for it.

Another verse which caught my attention was, taking a wife from a foreign land brought grief of mind to Isaac and Rebekah, to which Esau was least bothered.
