Genesis 21:28 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 21:28

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?”

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.
