Genesis 21:22-32

22And it came to pass at that timeH6256, that AbimelechH40 and PhicolH6369 the captain of his hostH6635 spake unto AbrahamH85, sayingH559, GodH430 is with thee in all that thou doest: 23nowH6258 thereforeH6258 swearH7650 unto me hereH2008 by GodH430 that thou wilt not deal falselyH8266 with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the landH776 wherein thou hast sojourned. 24And AbrahamH85 saidH559, I will swearH7650. 25And AbrahamH85 reprovedH3198 AbimelechH40 because of the wellH875 of waterH4325, which Abimelech’s servantsH5650 had violently taken awayH1497. 26And AbimelechH40 saidH559, I knowH3045 not who hath done this thingH1697: neither didst thou tellH5046 me, neither yet heardH8085 I of it, but to-day. 27And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, and gaveH5414 them unto AbimelechH40; and they twoH8147 madeH3772 a covenantH1285. 28And AbrahamH85 setH5324 sevenH7651 ewe lambs of the flockH6629 by themselves. 29And AbimelechH40 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, What mean these sevenH7651 ewe lambs which thou hast setH5324 by themselves? 30And he saidH559, These sevenH7651 ewe lambs shalt thou takeH3947 of my handH3027, that it may beH1961 a witness unto me, that I have digged this wellH875. 31Wherefore he calledH7121 that placeH4725 Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them. 32So they madeH3772 a covenantH1285 at Beer-sheba: and AbimelechH40 roseH6965 up, and PhicolH6369 the captain of his hostH6635, and they returnedH7725 into the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430.
