27. And Abraham took sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech. And the two of them made a covenant.
28. Then Abraham set off seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
29. And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven ewe-lambs that you have set off by themselves?”
30. And he said, “You shall take the seven ewe-lambs from my hand as proof on my behalf that I dug this well.”
31. Therefore that place is called Beersheba, because there the two of them swore an oath.
32. And they made a covenant at Beersheba. And Abimelech, and Phicol his army commander stood and returned to the land of the Philistines.
