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 21:34 And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines for many days.
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.
Gen 22:7 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, "My father!" And he said, "Here I am, my son." And he said, "Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?"
Gen 22:8 Abraham said, "God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." So the two of them walked on together.
Gen 22:9 ¶ Then they came to the place of which God had told him; and Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
Gen 22:10 Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
