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.
33. And Avraham planted an eshel (tamarisk tree) in Beer-Sheva, and called there on the Shem of Hashem El Olam.
34. And Avraham sojourned in eretz Pelishtim yamim rabbim.
