27 Then Abraham tooke sheepe and beeues, and gaue them vnto Abimelech: and they two made a couenant. 28 And Abraham set seuen lambes of the flocke by themselues. 29 Then Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What meane these seuen lambes, which thou hast set by themselues? 30 And he answered, Because thou shalt receiue of mine hand these seuen lambes, that it may be a witnes vnto me, that I haue digged this well. 31 Wherefore the place is called Beer-sheba, because there they both sware. 32 Thus made they a couenant at Beer-sheba: afterward Abimelech and Phichol his chiefe captaine rose vp, and turned againe vnto the land of the Philistims.
