26. And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet have I heard of it, but to-day.
27. And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a covenant.
28. And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
29. And Abimelech said to Abraham, What mean these seven ewe-lambs, which thou hast set by themselves?
30. And he said, For these seven ewe-lambs shalt thou take from my hand, that they may be a witness to me, that I have digged this well.
31. Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba: because there they swore both of them.
32. Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: Then Abimelech arose, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
33. And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
34. And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
