Then said Abraham: I will swear. And
Abraham rebuked Abimelech for a well of water, which Abimelech's
servants had taken away. And Abimelech answered I wist not who did
it: Also thou toldest me not, neither heard I of it, but this day.
And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them unto Abimelech. And
they made both of them a bond together. And Abraham set seven
lambs by them selves. And Abimelech said unto Abraham: what mean
these seven lambs which thou hast set by them selves. And he
answered: seven lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a
witness unto me, that I have digged this well: Wherefore the place
is called Berseba, because they sware both of them. Thus made they
a bond together at Berseba. Then Abimelech and Phicol his chief
Captain rose up and turned again unto the land of the Philistines.
And Abraham planted a wood in Berseba, and called there, on the
name of the LORD, the everlasting God: and dwelt in the Philistine
land a long season.
Chapter .xxij.
After these deeds, God did prove Abraham and said unto him:
Abraham. And he answered: here am I. And he said: take thy only
son Isaac whom thou lovest, and get thee unto the land of Moria,
and sacrifice him there for a sacrifice upon one of the mountains
which I will shew thee.
