Sitnah
Sitnah
(Heb. Sitnah’, ; Sept. ; Josephus, , Ant. 1, 18, 2; Vulg. Inimicitioe), the second of the two wells dug by Isaac in the valley of Gerar, and the possession of which the herdmen of the valley disputed with him (Genisis 26:21). Like the first one, Esek, it received its name from the disputes which took place over it, Sitnah meaning, as is stated in the margin, hatred, or more accurately accusation, but the play of expression has not been in this instance preserved in the Hebrew. The Sept., however, has attempted it …. The root of the name is the same as that of Satan, and this has been taken advantage of by Aquila and Symmachus, who render it respectively and . SEE ISAAC.

strife, the second of the two wells dug by Isaac, whose servants here contended with the Philistines (Gen. 26:21). It has been identified with the modern Shutneh, in the valley of Gerar, to the west of Rehoboth, about 20 miles south of Beersheba.

Sitnah
Gen 26:21. The same root as Satan. Now Shutnet. The second of the two wells dug by Isaac in the valley of Gerar, which the herdsmen of the place strove for as theirs. On the left of the wady Ruhaibeh is the small valley Shutneh er Ruhaibeh, preserving the name. Palmer suggests that the great well in wady Sadi is Isaac’s. (Palestine Exploration Society, “Our Work”.)
