Bereshis 21:19-28 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

19. And Elohim opened her eyes, and she saw a be'er of mayim; and she went, and filled the skin with mayim, and gave the na'ar drink.

20. And Elohim was with the na'ar; and he grew, and dwelt in the midbar, and became a roveh keshet (an archer).

21. And he dwelt in the midbar of Paran: and his em got him an isha out of Eretz Mitzrayim.

22. And it came to pass at that time, that Avimelech and Phichol the sar tz'va of his spoke unto Avraham, saying, Elohim is with thee in all that thou doest:

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.
