24. And Abraham saith, `I--I do swear.'

26. and Abimelech saith, `I have not known who hath done this thing, and even thou didst not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard save to-day.'
27. And Abraham taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;
28. and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by themselves.
29. And Abimelech saith unto Abraham, `What [are] they--these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'
