27 And Abraham toke sheepe and Oxen, and gaue them vnto Abimelech: & they made both of them a leage together. 28 And Abraham set seuen ewe lambes by them selues. 29 And Abimelech sayd vnto Abraham: what meane these seuen ewe lambes whiche thou hast set by them selues? 30 He aunswered: for these seuen ewe lambes shalt thou take of my hande, that they may be a wytnesse vnto me, that I haue digged this well. 31 Wherefore the place is called Beer seba, because that there they sware both of them. 32 Thus made they a leage together at Beer seba: and Abimelech and Phicol his chiefe captayne rose vp, and turned agayne into the lande of the Philistines.
