22 So they moved on from there and he had another well dug. This time there was no argument so he named the well, “Freedom,” saying, “Now the Lord has given us freedom to expand and be successful in this land.”

Passage themes

The LORD makes room — For now the LORD hath made room for us
The promised fruitfulness — we shall be fruitful in the land

Notes and references

“Freedom”: literally, “wide/open space,” which is often used in Hebrew as a synonym for freedom, since people are then given room to move around. See for example Job 36:16; Psalms 118:5.
