He said, “Accept these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that they may be a witness for me that I dug this well.”
In context
28Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs from the flock. 29Abimelech asked Abraham, “What are these seven ewe lambs you have set apart?” 30He said, “Accept these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that they may be a witness for me that I dug this well.” 31That is why that place was called Beersheba — because there the two of them swore an oath. 32So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Then Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army got up and returned to the land of the Philistines.
