Genesis 26:20

וַ יָּרִיבוּ רֹעֵי גְרָר עִם רֹעֵי יִצְחָק לֵ אמֹר לָנוּ הַ מָּיִם וַ יִּקְרָא שֵׁם הַ בְּאֵר עֵשֶׂק כִּי הִתְעַשְּׂקוּ עִמֹּו
And those-who-tend of Dragged are wrestling885 with those-who-tend of He-Laughs, to say, `To-ourselves is the Dual-Waters.` And he is calling-out the name of the Well `Pressed` for they have pressed themselves with him.
885

Strong’s #7378, rib. To toss, grapple. “Striving” is a less concrete rendering of this word and doesn’t do it justice.
