25 But Abraham lodged a complaint against Abimelech concerning a well that Abimelech's servants had seized. 26 I do not know who has done this thing,| Abimelech replied. |Moreover, you did not tell me. I did not hear about it until today.| 27 Abraham took some sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech. The two of them made a treaty. 28 Then Abraham set seven ewe lambs apart from the flock by themselves. 29 Abimelech asked Abraham, |What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs that you have set apart?| 30 He replied, |You must take these seven ewe lambs from my hand as legal proof that I dug this well.| Genesis 21:25-30, New English Translation.
