23. Now therefore swear unto me here before Elohim that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my child, nor with my descendant: but according to the chesed that I have showed thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the eretz wherein thou hast sojourned.
24. And Avraham said, I will swear.
25. And Avraham reproved Avimelech because of a be'er hamayim, which Avimelech's avadim had violently seized.
26. And Avimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing; neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but today.
27. And Avraham took tzon and oxen, and gave them unto Avimelech; and both of them made a brit.
28. And Avraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the tzon by themselves.
29. And Avimelech said unto Avraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set apart by themselves?
30. And he said, For these sheva ewe lambs shalt thou accept of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have dug this well.
31. Therefore he called that place Beer-Sheva; because there they swore an oath both of them.
32. Thus they made a brit at Beer-Sheva: then Avimelech rose up, and Phichol the sar tzeva of his, and they returned into eretz Pelishtim.
