Genesis 21:22–33

²²And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech, and Phichol the captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest. ²³And now swear to me here by God that thou wilt not deal deceitfully with me, nor with my son, nor with my grandson. According to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou sojournest. ²⁴And Abraham said, I will swear. ²⁵And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water that Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away. ²⁶And Abimelech said, I do not know who has done this, neither hast thou told me of it, neither have I heard of it but to-day. ²⁷And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant. ²⁸And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves. ²⁹And Abimelech said to Abraham, What mean these seven ewe-lambs, these which thou hast set by themselves? ³⁰And he said, That thou take the seven ewe-lambs of my hand, that they may be a witness to me that I have dug this well. ³¹Therefore he called that place Beer-sheba, because there they had sworn, both of them. ³²And they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. And Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the captain of his host, and returned into the land of the Philistines.

³³And Abraham planted a tamarisk in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, the Eternal •God.
