Genesis 21:22-31
22Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961 at that timeH6256 that 1AbimelechH40 and PhicolH6369, the commanderH8269 of his armyH6635, spokeH559 to AbrahamH85, sayingH559, “2GodH430 is with you in allH3605 that you doH6213; 23so nowH6258, 3swearH7650 to me hereH2008 by GodH430 that you will not dealH8266 falselyH8266 with me or with my offspringH5209 or with my descendantsH5220, but according to the kindnessH2617 that I have shownH6213 to you, you shall showH6213 to me and to the landH776 in whichH834 you have residedH1481.” 24AbrahamH85 saidH559, “I swearH7650 it.” 25But AbrahamH85 4complainedH3198 to AbimelechH40 becauseH5921H182 of the wellH875 of waterH4325 whichH834 the servantsH5650 of AbimelechH40 5had seizedH1497. 26And AbimelechH40 saidH559, “I do not knowH3045 whoH4310 has doneH6213 thisH2088 thingH1697; you did not tellH5046 me, norH1571H3808 did I hearH8085 of it 6untilH1115 todayH3117.”
27So AbrahamH85 tookH3947 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241 and gaveH5414 them to AbimelechH40, and 7the twoH8147 of them madeH3772 a covenantH1285. 28But AbrahamH85 setH5324 sevenH7651 eweH3535 lambsH3535 of the flockH6629 byH905 themselvesH905. 29Then AbimelechH40 saidH559 to AbrahamH85, “WhatH4100 do theseH428 sevenH7651 eweH3535 lambsH3535 mean, whichH834 you have setH5324 byH905 themselvesH905?” 30He saidH559, “You shall takeH3947 these sevenH7651 eweH3535 lambsH3535 from my handH3027 soH5668 thatH5668 it may be a 8witnessH5713 for me, that I dugH2658 thisH2088 wellH875.” 31ThereforeH5921H3651 he calledH7121 that placeH4725 910BeershebaH884, becauseH3588 thereH8033 the twoH8147 of them tookH7650 anH7650 oathH7650.
