Footnotes
- 48 The Hebrew verb translated “quarreled” describes a conflict that often has legal ramifications.
- 49 Heb “and he”; the referent (Isaac) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 50 Heb “and he called the name of the well.”
- 51 The name Esek means “argument” in Hebrew. The following causal clause explains that Isaac gave the well this name as a reminder of the conflict its discovery had created. In the Hebrew text there is a wordplay, for the name is derived from the verb translated “argued.”
- 52 The words “about it” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
