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.

31 Therfore is the place called Berseba, because they sware there both together.

32 And so they made the bonde at Berseba.Then rose Abimelech and Phicol his chefe captayne, and departed agayne in to the londe of ye Philistynes.

33 And Abraham planted trees at Berseba, and called vpon the name of the LORDE ye euerlastinge God,

34 and was a straunger in ye londe of the Philistynes a longe season.
