Genesis 21:24-31 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

24. And Abraham said: I will swear.

25. And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force.

26. And Abimelech answered: I knew not who did this thing: and thou didst not tell me, and I heard not of it till to day.

27. And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a league.

28. And Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the flock.

29. And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set apart?

30. But he said: Thou shalt take seven ewe lambs at my hand: that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well.

31. Therefore that place was called Bersabee: because both of them did swear.
