Genesis 21:25-29 English Standard Version (ESV)

25. When Abraham reproved Abimelech about a well of water that Abimelech’s servants had seized,

26. Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, and I have not heard of it until today.”

27. So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.

28. Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock apart.

29. And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs that you have set apart?”
