תּוספֿתּא אויף בראשית 26:1

וַיְהִ֤י רָעָב֙ בָּאָ֔רֶץ מִלְּבַד֙ הָרָעָ֣ב הָרִאשׁ֔וֹן אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיָ֖ה בִּימֵ֣י אַבְרָהָ֑ם וַיֵּ֧לֶךְ יִצְחָ֛ק אֶל־אֲבִימֶּ֥לֶךְ מֶֽלֶךְ־פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים גְּרָֽרָה׃

און עס איז געװאָרן אַ הונגער אין לאַנד, אַחוץ דעם פֿריערדיקן הונגער, װאָס איז געװען אין די טעג פֿון אבֿרהמען; און יצחק איז געגאַנגען צו אבֿימֶלֶך דעם מלך פֿון די פּלִשתּים, קײן גרָר.

Tosefta Sotah

As long as Abraham was alive, there was plenty, as it is said (Gen. 24:1), "And God had blessed Abraham in everything." Once Abraham died, "There was a famine in the land" (Gen. 26:1). Isaac came and [again] there was plenty, as it says (Gen 26:12), "Isaac sowed in that land [and reaped in that year a hundred measures]." As long as Abraham was alive, the wells were filled with water, [but] once Abraham died what does it say, but (Gen. 26:15), "And all the wells which had been dug [by the servants of his (i.e., Isaac's) father in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped up and filled with earth]." They said, since they are no longer filled with water, they will be a hazard should we stumble into them, and thus they filled them up. Isaac came and [again] the wells were filled with water, as it is said (Gen. 26:18-19), "And Isaac again dug up the wells of water, etc." and "[Isaac's] servants [also] dug, etc."
