Study note
Setting — Isaac’s servants report to him on that same day, following the Philistines’ departure after a mutual oath.
The words — The verb וַ/יַּגּ֣דוּ (va/i.ya.Gi.du) carries the literal sense of telling or reporting the discovery of water to Isaac.
The thread — This factual report of resource acquisition parallels the diligence described in Proverbs 10:4 and continues the narrative of Isaac’s labor from Genesis 26:25.
Why it lands — The text records a straightforward account of servants delivering news of a found well, requiring the reader to note how practical provision follows sustained effort and covenant faithfulness.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
