29 Then Abimelech asked Abraham, a“What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves?”
30 And he said, “You will take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that athey may be my witness that I have dug this well.”
31 Therefore he acalled that place Beersheba, because the two of them swore an oath there.
32 Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba. So Abimelech rose with Phichol, the commander of his army, and they returned to the land of the Philistines.
33 Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and athere called on the name of the Lord, bthe Everlasting God.
34 And Abraham stayed in the land of the Philistines many days.
