25 And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force. When Abraham reproved Abimelech about a well of water that Abimelech’s servants had seized, Then Abraham complained to Abimelek about a well of water that Abimelek’s servants had seized.
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. Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, and I have not heard of it until today.” But Abimelek said, “I don’t know who has done this. You did not tell me, and I heard about it only today.”
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a league. So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant. So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelek, and the two men made a treaty.
28 And Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs of the flock. Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock apart. Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs from the flock,
29 And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set apart? And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs that you have set apart?” and Abimelek asked Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs you have set apart by themselves?”
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. He said, “These seven ewe lambs you will take from my hand, that this may be a witness for me that I dug this well.” He replied, “Accept these seven lambs from my hand as a witness that I dug this well.”
