The Complete Passuk

וַֽיַּחְפְּרוּ֙ בְּאֵ֣ר אַחֶ֔רֶת וַיָּרִ֖יבוּ גַּם־עָלֶ֑יהָ וַיִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמָ֖הּ שִׂטְנָֽה׃

They dug another well, and they quarreled over that also; so he named it Sitnah.

Rashi on Bereishis 26:21 (classical source on this passuk; not listed as a numbered Torah Temimah unit here).

Lemma / focus: שטנה.

שִׂטְנָה — לְשׁוֹן נֶזֶק וּמִכְשׁוֹל.

English: Sitnah — language of harm and hindrance.

On the daf / in context: The second contested well is named for hostility; the root marks ongoing opposition.

Derash on the verse (Rashi) — not a formal named middah of the 13: the name is fixed as “hindrance.”

The second well was named Sitnah because they contested it as well—hostility and hindrance.
