Genesis 21:26-31
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 21
26
And Abimelech said, 'I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, nor did I hear of it until today.'
27
So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.
28
But Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29
Then Abimelech said to Abraham, 'What do these seven ewe lambs mean, which you have set by themselves?'
30
He 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.'
31
Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because there the two of them took an oath.
King James Version
Chapter 21
26
And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.
27
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
28
And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29
And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
30
And 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.
31
Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 21
26
Abimelech 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."
27
Abraham took flocks and herds and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.
28
Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock.
29
And Abimelech said to Abraham, "Why have you separated these seven ewe lambs?"
30
He 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."
31
Therefore that place was called Beer-sheba because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
New Living Translation
Chapter 21
26
This is the first I’ve heard of it,' Abimelech answered. 'I have no idea who is responsible. You have never complained about this before.'
27
Abraham then gave some of his sheep, goats, and cattle to Abimelech, and they made a treaty.
28
But Abraham also took seven additional female lambs and set them off by themselves.
29
Abimelech asked, 'Why have you set these seven apart from the others?'
30
Abraham replied, 'Please accept these seven lambs to show your agreement that I dug this well.'
31
Then he named the place Beersheba (which means 'well of the oath'), because that was where they had sworn the oath.
