And Avraham rebuked Avimelech concerning the well of water that Avimelech’s servants had seized.
Rashi on Genesis 21:25.
Sefaria — Rashi on Genesis 21:25
English: “And he rebuked” — he disputed with him concerning this matter.
Derash on the verse (Rashi) — not a formal named middah of the 13. The force of “vehochiach” is fixed as mutual contention.
A covenant of peace is preceded by clear rebuke of the wrong; unresolved seizure of a well cannot be papered over by silence.
