2 And I will make of thee [06213] a great [01419] nation [01471], and I will bless [01288] thee, and make [01431] thy name [08034] great [01431]; and thou shalt be a blessing [01293]:
22 And it came to pass at that time [06256], that Abimelech [040] and Phichol [06369] the chief captain [08269] of his host [06635] spake [0559] unto Abraham [085], saying [0559], God [0430] is with thee in all that thou doest [06213]:
23 Now therefore swear [07650] unto me here [02008] by God [0430] that thou wilt not deal falsely [08266] with me, nor with my son [05209], nor with my son's son [05220]: but according to the kindness [02617] that I have done [06213] unto thee, thou shalt do [06213] unto me, and to the land [0776] wherein thou hast sojourned [01481].
24 And Abraham [085] said [0559], I will swear [07650].
25 And Abraham [085] reproved [03198] Abimelech [040] because [0182] of a well [0875] of water [04325], which Abimelech's [040] servants [05650] had violently taken away [01497].
26 And Abimelech [040] said [0559], I wot [03045] not who hath done [06213] this thing [01697]: neither [03808] didst thou tell [05046] me, neither [03808] yet heard [08085] I of it, but [01115] to day [03117].
27 And Abraham [085] took [03947] sheep [06629] and oxen [01241], and gave [05414] them unto Abimelech [040]; and both of them [08147] made [03772] a covenant [01285].

30 And he said [0559], For these seven [07651] ewe lambs [03535] shalt thou take [03947] of my hand [03027], that [05668] they may be a witness [05713] unto me, that I have digged [02658] this well [0875].
31 Wherefore he called [07121] that place [04725] Beersheba [0884]; because there they sware [07650] both of them [08147].
32 Thus they made [03772] a covenant [01285] at Beersheba [0884]: then Abimelech [040] rose up [06965], and Phichol [06369] the chief captain [08269] of his host [06635], and they returned [07725] into the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430].

34 And Abraham [085] sojourned [01481] in the Philistines [06430]' land [0776] many [07227] days [03117].
1 After [0310] these things [01697] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came [01961] unto Abram [087] in a vision [04236], saying [0559], Fear [03372] not, Abram [087]: I am thy shield [04043], and thy exceeding [03966] great [07235] reward [07939].
