15. and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs.
16. And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, `Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.
17. And God heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, `What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth where he [is];
18. rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.'
19. And God openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle [with] water, and causeth the youth to drink;
20. and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is an archer;
21. and he dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife from the land of Egypt.
22. And it cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh--Phichol also, head of his host--unto Abraham, saying, `God [is] with thee in all that thou art doing;
23. and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.'
24. And Abraham saith, `I--I do swear.'
25. And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech's servants have taken violently away,
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?'
30. And he saith, `For--the seven lambs thou dost accept from my hand, so that it becometh a witness for me that I have digged this well;'
31. therefore hath he called that place `Beer-Sheba,' for there have both of them sworn.
32. And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech riseth--Phichol also, head of his host--and they turn back unto the land of the Philistines;
33. and [Abraham] planteth a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during;
34. and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days.
