24 Abraham said, “I promise.”
25 Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well which the servants of Abimelech had seized.
26 Abimelech said, “I don't know who did this. You didn't tell me about it, and this is the first I have heard of it.”
27 Then Abraham gave some sheep and cattle to Abimelech, and the two of them made an agreement.
28 Abraham separated seven lambs from his flock,
29 and Abimelech asked him, “Why did you do that?”
30 Abraham answered, “Accept these seven lambs. By doing this, you admit that I am the one who dug this well.”
