Genesis 21:27-34 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

27. So Aḇraham took sheep and cattle and gave them to Aḇimeleḵ, and the two of them made a covenant.

28. And Aḇraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

29. And Aḇimeleḵ asked Aḇraham, “What are these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves?”

30. And he said, “Take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, to be my witness that I have dug this well.”

31. So he called that place Be’ĕrsheḇa, because the two of them swore an oath there.

32. Thus they made a covenant at Be’ĕrsheḇa. And Aḇimeleḵ rose with Piḵol, the commander of his army, and they returned to the land of the Philistines.

33. And he planted a tamarisk tree in Be’ĕrsheḇa, and there called on the Name of יהוה, the Everlasting Ěl.

34. And Aḇraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
