19. And God opened her eyes. And seeing a well of water, she went and filled the skin, and she gave the boy to drink.
20. And God was with him. And he grew, and he stayed in the wilderness, and he became a young man, an archer.
21. And he lived in the desert of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
22. At the same time, Abimelech and Phicol, the leader of his army, said to Abraham: "God is with you in everything that you do.
23. Therefore, swear by God that you will do no harm to me, and to my posterity, and to my stock. But according to the mercy that I have done to you, you will do to me and to the land, to which you have turned as a newcomer."
24. And Abraham said, "I will swear."
25. And he reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.
26. And Abimelech responded, "I do not know who did this thing, but you also did not reveal it to me, nor have I heard of it, before today."
27. And so Abraham took sheep and oxen, and he gave them to Abimelech. And both of them struck a pact.
28. And Abraham set aside seven female lambs from the flock.
29. Abimelech said to him, "What purpose have these seven female lambs, which you have caused to stand separately?"
