Genesis 21:22-32
22And it came to pass at that timeH6256, that AbimelechH40 and PhicholH6369 the chief captainH8269 of his armyH6635 spakeH559 unto AbrahamH85, sayingH559, GodH430 is with thee in all that thou doestH6213: 23Now therefore swearH7650 unto me hereH2008 by GodH430 that thou wilt not deal falselyH8266 with me, nor with my sonH5209, nor with my son’s sonH5220: but according to the kindnessH2617 that I have doneH6213 unto thee, thou shalt doH6213 unto me, and to the landH776 wherein thou hast sojournedH1481.1 24And AbrahamH85 saidH559, I will swearH7650. 25And AbrahamH85 reprovedH3198 AbimelechH40 becauseH182 of a wellH875 of waterH4325, which Abimelech’sH40 servantsH5650 had violently taken awayH1497. 26And AbimelechH40 saidH559, I wotH3045 not who hath doneH6213 this thingH1697: neitherH3808 didst thou tellH5046 me, neitherH3808 yet heardH8085 I of it, butH1115 to dayH3117. 27And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, and gaveH5414 them unto AbimelechH40; and both of themH8147 madeH3772 a covenantH1285. 28And AbrahamH85 setH5324 sevenH7651 ewe lambsH3535 of the flockH6629 by themselves. 29And AbimelechH40 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, WhatH2008 mean these sevenH7651 ewe lambsH3535 which thou hast setH5324 by themselves? 30And he saidH559, For these sevenH7651 ewe lambsH3535 shalt thou takeH3947 of my handH3027, thatH5668 they may be a witnessH5713 unto me, that I have diggedH2658 this wellH875. 31Wherefore he calledH7121 that placeH4725 Beer–shebaH884; because there they swareH7650 both of themH8147.2 32Thus they madeH3772 a covenantH1285 at Beer–shebaH884: then AbimelechH40 rose upH6965, and PhicholH6369 the chief captainH8269 of his armyH6635, and they returnedH7725 into the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430.
