13 And also of the son of the bond-woman will I make a nation, because he [is] thy seed.
13 I will make the son of the slave into a nation also, because he is your offspring.”
14 And Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave [it] to Hagar (putting [it] on her shoulder) and the child, and sent her away; and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.

22 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, God [is] with thee in all that thou doest:
22 At that time Abimelek and Phicol the commander of his forces said to Abraham, “God is with you in everything you do.
23 Now therefore swear to 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 to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land in which thou hast sojourned.
23 Now swear to me here before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or my descendants. Show to me and the country where you now reside as a foreigner the same kindness I have shown to you.”
24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
24 Abraham said, “I swear it.”
25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech, because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
25 Then Abraham complained to Abimelek about a well of water that Abimelek’s servants had seized.
26 And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet have I heard [of it], but to-day.
26 But Abimelek said, “I don’t know who has done this. You did not tell me, and I heard about it only today.”
27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a covenant.

28 And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
28 Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs from the flock,
29 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe-lambs, which thou hast set by themselves?
29 and Abimelek asked Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs you have set apart by themselves?”
30 And he said, For [these] seven ewe-lambs shalt thou take from my hand, that they may be a witness to me, that I have digged this well.
30 He replied, “Accept these seven lambs from my hand as a witness that I dug this well.”
31 Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba: because there they swore both of them.
31 So that place was called Beersheba, because the two men swore an oath there.
32 Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: Then Abimelech arose, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
32 After the treaty had been made at Beersheba, Abimelek and Phicol the commander of his forces returned to the land of the Philistines.
