Genesis 21:27

Compare all

25 Then Abraham rebuked Abimelech because of a well of water which Abimelech’s servants ^ahad seized.

26 And Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, nor had I heard of it until today.”

27 So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them ^amade a covenant.

28 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

29 Then Abimelech asked Abraham, ^a“What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves?”

Genesis 21:27

Took sheep and oxen - Some think that these were the sacrifices which were offered on the occasion, and which Abraham furnished at his own cost, and, in order to do Abimelech the greater honor, gave them to him to offer before the Lord.
