29. Abimelech asked Abraham, “Why did you put these seven female lambs by themselves?”
30. Abraham answered, “When you accept these lambs from me, it will be proof that I dug this well.”
31. So after that, the well was called Beersheba. Abraham gave the well this name because it was the place where they made a promise to each other.
32. So Abraham and Abimelech made an agreement at Beersheba. Then Abimelech and Phicol, his military commander, went back to the country of the Philistines.
