<p> &nbsp;Genesis 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".)'' </p>

<p> (Heb. Sitnah', '''''שַׂטְנָה''''' ; Sept. '''''Ἐχθρία''''' ; Josephus, '''''Σιτεννά''''' '', 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 '''''Ἐκρίνοντο''''' ... '''''Ἐχθρία''''' . 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 '''''Ἀντικειμένη''''' and '''''Ἐναντίωσις''''' . (See [[Isaac]]). </p>

<p> ''''' sit´na ''''' ( שׂטנה , <i> ''''' siṭnāh ''''' </i> , "hatred," "hostility"; ἐχθρία , <i> ''''' echthrı́a ''''' </i> ): The name of the second of the two wells dug by the herdsmen of Isaac, the cause of further "enmity" with the herdsmen of Gerer (&nbsp; Genesis 26:21 , margin "That is, <i> [[Enmity]] </i> "). The site is unknown, but Palmer ( <i> PEFS </i> , 1871) finds an echo of the name in <i> ''''' Shuṭnet ''''' </i> <i> ''''' er ''''' </i> <i> ''''' Ruḥeibeh ''''' </i> , the name of a small valley near <i> ''''' Ruḥeibeh ''''' </i> . See [[Rehoboth]] . </p>
