  He washes his garment, cooks, and draws water from the well,

  الْبِئْرِ — the well. The noun governed by the preceding 'from'. It carries al- ('the') so it is a specific well, and because the preposition demands the genitive it shows that ending. It names the source point that the water is drawn from.
