01:021:023 Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not
deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son:
but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou
shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
01:021:024 And Abraham said, I will swear.
01:021:025 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water,
which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
01:021:026 And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing;
neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to
day.
01:021:027 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech;
and both of them made a covenant.
01:021:028 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
01:021:029 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe
lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
01:021:030 And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my
hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged
this well.
01:021:031 Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they
sware both of them.
01:021:032 Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose
up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they
returned into the land of the Philistines.
01:021:033 And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on
the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
01:021:034 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
01:022:001 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt
Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here
I am.
01:022:002 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou
lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him
there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I
will tell thee of.
01:022:003 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass,
and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and
clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went
unto the place of which God had told him.
01:022:004 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the
place afar off.
01:022:005 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the
ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come
again to you.
01:022:006 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it
upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a
knife; and they went both of them together.
01:022:007 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father:
and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire
and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
