Genesis 21:22-24

New International Reader's Version

The Agreement at Beersheba

²² At that time Abimelek and his army commander, Phicol, spoke to Abraham. They said to Abraham, “God is with you in everything you do. ²³ Now make a promise to me here while God is watching. Give me your word that you will treat me fairly. Promise that you will treat my children and their children the same way. I’ve been kind to you. Now you be kind to me and the country where you are living as an outsider.”

²⁴ Abraham said, “I give you my word that I’ll do it.”
