His mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt. 021:022 It happened at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, "God is with you in all that you do. 021:023 Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner." 021:024 Abraham said, "I will swear." 021:025 Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away. 021:026 Abimelech said, "I don't know who has done this thing. Neither did you tell me, neither did I hear of it, until today." 021:027 Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant. 021:028 Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. 021:029 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?" 021:030 He said, "You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well." 021:031 Therefore he called that place Beersheba,{Beersheba can mean "well of the oath" or "well of seven."} because they both swore there. 021:032 So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines. 021:033 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and called there on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God. 021:034 Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days. 022:001 It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" He said, "Here I am." 022:002 He said, "Now take your son, your only son, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of." 022:003 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him. 022:004 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off. 022:005 Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go yonder. We will worship, and come back to you." 022:006 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together. 022:007 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am, my son." He said, "Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"
