27. Abraham then gave some of his sheep, goats, and cattle to Abimelech, and they made a treaty.
28. But Abraham also took seven additional female lambs and set them off by themselves.
29. Abimelech asked, “Why have you set these seven apart from the others?”
30. Abraham replied, “Please accept these seven lambs to show your agreement that I dug this well.”
31. Then he named the place Beersheba (which means “well of the oath”), because that was where they had sworn the oath.
32. After making their covenant at Beersheba, Abimelech left with Phicol, the commander of his army, and they returned home to the land of the Philistines.
33. Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree at Beersheba, and there he worshiped the lord, the Eternal God.
