23 “Now therefore, swear to me by God that you will not deal
falsely with me, with my offspring, or with my posterity; but that according to
the kindness that I have done to you, you will do to me and to the land in
which you have dwelt.”
24 And Abraham said, “I will swear.”
25 Then Abraham rebuked Abimelech because of a well of water
which Abimelech’s servants had seized.
26 And Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this
thing; you did not tell me, nor had I heard of it until today.”
27 So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to
Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.
28 And Abraham set even ewe lambs of the flock by
themselves.
29 Then Abimelech asked Abraham, “What is the meaning of
these sever ewe lambs which you have set by themselves?”
30 And he said, “You will take these seven ewe lambs from my
hand, that they may be m y witness that I have dug this well.”
31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because the two
of them swore an oath there.
32 Thus they made a covenant at Beershelba. So Abimelech rose with Phichol, the commander
of his army, and they returned to the land of the Philistines.
33 Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and
there called on the name of the Lord, the Everlasting God.
34 And Abraham stayed in the land of the Philistines many
days.
