27 Abraham took some sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech. The two of them made a treaty. 28 Then Abraham set seven ewe lambs apart from the flock by themselves. 29 Abimelech asked Abraham, |What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs that you have set apart?| 30 He replied, |You must take these seven ewe lambs from my hand as legal proof that I dug this well.| 31 That is why he named that place Beer Sheba, because the two of them swore an oath there.
