Gen 21:20 ¶ God was with the lad, and he grew; and he lived in the wilderness and became an archer.
Gen 21:21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
Gen 21:22 ¶ Now it came about at that time that Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying, "God is with you in all that you do;
Gen 21:23 now therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my offspring or with my posterity, but according to the kindness that I have shown to you, you shall show to me and to the land in which you have sojourned."
Gen 21:24 Abraham said, "I swear it."
Gen 21:25 But Abraham complained to Abimelech because of the well of water which the servants of Abimelech had seized.
Gen 21:26 And Abimelech said, "I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, nor did I hear of it until today."
Gen 21:27 ¶ Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.
Gen 21:28 Then Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
Gen 21:29 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs mean, which you have set by themselves?"
Gen 21:30 He said, "You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand so that it may be a witness to me, that I dug this well."
Gen 21:31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because there the two of them took an oath.
Gen 21:32 So they made a covenant at Beersheba; and Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, arose and returned to the land of the Philistines.
Gen 21:33Abraham planted a tamarisk tree at Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
Gen 22:1 Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
Gen 22:2 He said, "Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you."
Gen 22:3 So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son; and he split wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.
Gen 22:4 On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from a distance.
Gen 22:5 Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you."
Gen 22:6 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together.
