Genesis 21:23-28 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.
