Genesis 21:29-31

New International Reader's Version

²⁹ Abimelek asked Abraham, “What’s the meaning of these seven female lambs? Why have you picked them out and set them apart?”

³⁰ Abraham replied, “Accept the seven lambs from me. They will be a witness that I dug this well.”

³¹ So that place was named Beersheba. That’s because there the two men came to an agreement.
