Genesis 21:28 in context

The verses around it, from Genesis 21.

24 And Abraham replied, “I swear it.”

25 But when Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized,

26 Abimelech replied, “I do not know who has done this. You did not tell me, so I have not heard about it until today.”

27 So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a covenant.

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.
