27 So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.

28 Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock,

29 and Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?”

30 He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I dug this well.”

31 So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
