26 Abimelech said, I don`t know who has done this thing. Neither did you tell me, neither did I hear of it, until today."
27 Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.
28 Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?"
30 He said, "You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well."
31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore there.
32 So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
