Genesis 21:30-32

Expanded Bible

³⁰ Abraham answered, “Accept these lambs from ·me [^Lmy hand] to ·prove that you believe [verify/witness that] I dug this well.”

³¹ So that place was called Beersheba [21:14; ^Cmeaning either “well of seven” or “well of promise”] because they ·made a promise to each other [swore an oath] there.

³² After Abraham and Abimelech ·made the agreement [^Lcut a covenant/treaty] at Beersheba, Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, went back to the land of the Philistines [^Ca region on the southern Mediterranean coast of Canaan].
