Genesis 21:26-31
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 21

26And Abimelech said, 'I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, nor did I hear of it until today.'
27So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant. 28But Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. 29Then Abimelech said to Abraham, 'What do these seven ewe lambs mean, which you have set by themselves?' 30He said, 'You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand so that it may be a witness for me, that I dug this well.' 31Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because there the two of them took an oath.
King James Version

Chapter 21

26And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.
27And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant. 28And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. 29And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? 30And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well. 31Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.

Chapter 21

26Abimelech replied, "I don’t know who did this thing. You didn’t report anything to me, so I hadn’t heard about it until today."
27Abraham took flocks and herds and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant. 28Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock. 29And Abimelech said to Abraham, "Why have you separated these seven ewe lambs?"
30He replied, "You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from me so that this act will serve as my witness that I dug this well." 31Therefore that place was called Beer-sheba because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
New Living Translation

Chapter 21

26This is the first I’ve heard of it,' Abimelech answered. 'I have no idea who is responsible. You have never complained about this before.'
27Abraham then gave some of his sheep, goats, and cattle to Abimelech, and they made a treaty. 28But Abraham also took seven additional female lambs and set them off by themselves. 29Abimelech asked, 'Why have you set these seven apart from the others?'
30Abraham replied, 'Please accept these seven lambs to show your agreement that I dug this well.' 31Then he named the place Beersheba (which means 'well of the oath'), because that was where they had sworn the oath.
English Standard Version

Chapter 21

26Abimelech said, "I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, and I have not heard of it until today." 27So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant. 28Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock apart. 29And Abimelech said to Abraham, "What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs that you have set apart?" 30He said, "These seven ewe lambs you will take from my hand, that this may be a witness for me that I dug this well." 31Therefore that place was called Beersheba, because there both of them swore an oath.
New International Version

Chapter 21

26But Abimelek said, "I don’t know who has done this. You did not tell me, and I heard about it only today."
27So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelek, and the two men made a treaty. 28Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs from the flock, 29and Abimelek asked Abraham, "What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs you have set apart by themselves?"
30He replied, "Accept these seven lambs from my hand as a witness that I dug this well."
31So that place was called Beersheba, because the two men swore an oath there.
