29. And Abimelech said to Abraham, “Why have you separated these seven ewe lambs? ”
30. He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand so that this act will serve as my witness that I dug this well.”
31. Therefore that place was called Beer-sheba because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
32. After they had made a covenant at Beer-sheba, Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, left and returned to the land of the Philistines.
33. Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and there he called on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God.
34. And Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines for many days.
