“And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.”
That day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well they had dug. They said: we've found water! The well confirmation on the same day as the treaty is the text's declaration that the covenant life is comprehensive: peace with the surrounding peoples (the treaty) and provision from the land (the water) arrive together. The application: the full covenant life involves both the horizontal dimension (peace with neighbors) and the vertical dimension (provision from God). When both arrive on the same day, receive them with gratitude.
