Genesis 21:25-30
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 21
25But Abraham complained to Abimelech because of the well of water which the servants of Abimelech had seized. 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.'
