Genesis 21:23-31 Now, therefore, swear to me by God, here, that thou wilt not deal falsely by me, nor by mine offspring, nor by my descendants,––according to the lovingkindness wherewith I have dealt with thee, shalt thou deal with me, and with the land wherein thou hast sojourned.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ Now, therefore, swear to me by God, here, that thou wilt not deal falsely by me, nor by mine offspring, nor by my descendants,––according to the lovingkindness wherewith I have dealt with thee, shalt thou deal with me, and with the land wherein thou hast sojourned. ²⁴ And Abraham said, I, will swear. ²⁵ But Abraham reproved Abimelech,––on account of the well of water, which the servants of Abimelech had seized. ²⁶ And Abimelech said, I know not, who hath done this thing,––nor hast, even thou, ever told me, nor have, even I, ever heard, save today. ²⁷ And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave to Abimelech,––and they two solemnised a covenant. ²⁸ So then Abraham set seven young sheep of the flock, by themselves. ²⁹ And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What, then, mean these seven young sheep, here, which thou hast set by themselves? ³⁰ And he said, The seven young sheep, shalt thou take at my hand,––that they may serve as my witness, that I digged this well. ³¹ On this account, was the name of that place called Beer–sheba[=" oath well"], ––because, there, had they two sworn.
