Genesis 21:30
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I dug this well.”
In context
28 Abraham separated seven ewe lambs from the flock,
29 and Abimelech asked him, “Why have you set apart these seven ewe lambs?”
30 He replied, “You are to accept the seven ewe lambs from my hand as my witness that I dug this well.”
31 So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.
32 After they had made the covenant at Beersheba, Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army got up and returned to the land of the Philistines.
