28. And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
29. And Abimelech said to Abraham, What mean these seven ewe-lambs, these which thou hast set by themselves?
30. And he said, That thou take the seven ewe-lambs of my hand, that they may be a witness to me that I have dug this well.
31. Therefore he called that place Beer-sheba, because there they had sworn, both of them.
