What does Genesis 26:32 mean? [⇑ See verse text ⇑]
Isaac is having a good day. He has just sent King Abimelech back to Gerar, having made a covenant of peace with the Philistines (Genesis 26:23–31). Now his servants arrive with news that they've found water in the new well they have been digging, likely the one mentioned in verse 25. Because of the peace treaty, this discovery of much-needed water should not result in another nasty dispute over water rights (Genesis 26:18–22). This is another sign of God's blessing on Isaac. Upcoming verses will echo the experiences of Isaac's father, Abraham, showing that God is keeping His promises.
