24 And Abraham said, “I swear.”
25 Then Abraham complained to Abimelech on account of the well of water that servants of Abimelech had seized.
26 And Abimelech said, “I do not know who did this thing, neither did you tell me, nor have I heard of it except for today.”
27 And Abraham took sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech. And the two of them made a covenant.
28 Then Abraham set off seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven ewe-lambs that you have set off by themselves?”
30 And he said, “You shall take the seven ewe-lambs from my hand as proof on my behalf that I dug this well.”
