30 He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand so that this act will serve as my witness that I dug this well.”
31 Therefore that place was called Beer-sheba because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
32 After they had made a covenant at Beer-sheba, Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, left and returned to the land of the Philistines.
33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and there he called on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God.
34 And Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines for many days.
