28. Abraham separated seven lambs from his flock,
29. and Abimelech asked him, “Why did you do that?”
30. Abraham answered, “Accept these seven lambs. By doing this, you admit that I am the one who dug this well.”
31. And so the place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them made a vow.
32. After they had made this agreement at Beersheba, Abimelech and Phicol went back to Philistia.
33. Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and worshipped the Lord, the Everlasting God.
34. Abraham lived in Philistia for a long time.
