Genesis 21:27-31

27So AbrahamH85 tookH3947 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241 and gaveH5414 them to AbimelechH40, and 1the 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 2witnessH5713 for me, that I dugH2658 thisH2088 wellH875.”

31ThereforeH5921H3651 he calledH7121 that placeH4725 34BeershebaH884, becauseH3588 thereH8033 the twoH8147 of them tookH7650 anH7650 oathH7650.
