Genesis 21:23-31

Geneva(i) 23 Nowe therefore sweare vnto me here by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my children, nor my childrens children: thou shalt deale with me, and with the countrey, where thou hast bene a stranger, according vnto the kindnesse that I haue shewed thee. 24 Then Abraham said, I will sweare. 25 And Abraham rebuked Abimelech for a well of water, which Abimelechs seruants had violently taken away. 26 And Abimelech saide, I knowe not who hath done this thing: also thou toldest me not, neither heard I of it but this day. 27 Then Abraham tooke sheepe and beeues, and gaue them vnto Abimelech: and they two made a couenant. 28 And Abraham set seuen lambes of the flocke by themselues. 29 Then Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What meane these seuen lambes, which thou hast set by themselues? 30 And he answered, Because thou shalt receiue of mine hand these seuen lambes, that it may be a witnes vnto me, that I haue digged this well. 31 Wherefore the place is called Beer-sheba, because there they both sware.
