Isaac Grew Great and the Wells of Living Water

"And the man grew great, and went on growing greater [until he became very great]" (Genesis 26:13) until they would say, the dung of Isaac's mules, and not the silver and gold of Abimelech [is preferable]. "And he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great household [avuddah]" (Genesis 26:14). It is written "avuddah" [labor / servitude]: if a man does not make himself like a servant to it [his property], he does not acquire it. "Go from us, for you have become far mightier than we" (Genesis 26:16). He said to him: all the might you have grown was it not from us? In the past you had one little flask [kukya]; now you have many flasks. "[And Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of living water]" (Genesis 26:18-22). Rabbi Chanina said: one who sees a well in a dream sees peace, as it is said, "and Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of living water." Rabbi Natan says: he has found Torah, as it is said, "whoever finds me finds life" (Proverbs 8:35). Rava said: literally life. One who sees a well in a dream should rise early and recite "and Isaac's servants dug in the valley," before another verse precedes it [a verse of ill omen]: "as a cistern wells up its waters" (Jeremiah 6:7).
