25 And Abraham rebuked Abimelech for the well of water, which Abimelechs seruauntes had taken awaye by violence.

26 Then answered Abimelech: I knewe not who dyd it, nether dyddest thou tell me, and I haue not herde of it but this daye.

27 The toke Abraham shepe and oxen, and gaue them vnto Abimelech, and they both made a bonde together.

28 And Abraham set seuen lambes by them selues.

29 Then sayde Abimelech vnto Abraha: What meane those seuen lambes, which thou hast set by them selues?

30 He answered: seue lambes shalt thou take of my hande, that they maye be wytnes vnto me, that I haue dygged this well.
