Genesis 21:29-32
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 21

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. 32So they made a covenant at Beersheba; and Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, got up and returned to the land of the Philistines.
King James Version

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.
32Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

Chapter 21

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. 32After they had made a covenant at Beer-sheba, Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, left and returned to the land of the Philistines.
New Living Translation

Chapter 21

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.
32After making their covenant at Beersheba, Abimelech left with Phicol, the commander of his army, and they returned home to the land of the Philistines.
