21 He dwelt in the Wilderness of Paran; and his mother atook a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
A Covenant with Abimelech
22 And it came to pass at that time that aAbimelech and Phichol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying, b“God is with you in all that you do.
23 Now therefore, aswear to me by God that you will not deal falsely with me, with my offspring, or with my posterity; but that according to the kindness that I have done to you, you will do to me and to the land in which you have dwelt.”
24 And Abraham said, “I will swear.”
25 Then Abraham rebuked Abimelech because of a well of water which Abimelech’s servants ahad seized.
