24 Abraham said, “I make a pledge.”
25 Now Abraham had rebuked Abimelech because of the well of water that Abimelech’s servants had seized.
26 So Abimelech said, “I don’t know who did this thing. Nor did you tell me, nor did I hear about it until today.”
27 Then Abraham took a flock of sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.
28 Abraham set seven young ewe-lambs apart from the flock of sheep by themselves.
29 Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe-lambs that you’ve set by themselves mean?”
30 He said, “You are to accept the seven ewe-lambs from my hand, so that they may be a witness for me that I dug this well.”
