Génesis 21:28-34

28 Y puso Abraham siete corderas del rebaño aparte.

29 Y dijo Abimelec a Abraham: ¿Qué significan esas siete corderas que has puesto aparte?

30 Y él respondió: Que estas siete corderas tomarás de mi mano, para que me sean en testimonio de que yo cavé este pozo.

31 Por esto llamó a aquel lugar Beerseba; porque allí juraron ambos.

32 Así hicieron alianza en Beerseba; y se levantó Abimelec y Ficol, príncipe de su ejército, y se volvieron a tierra de los filisteos.

33 Y plantó Abraham un bosque en Beerseba, e invocó allí el nombre del SEÑOR Dios eterno.

34 Y moró Abraham en tierra de los filisteos muchos días.

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 21

This chapter gives an account of the conception, birth, circumcision, and weaning of Isaac, Ge 21:1-8; of the mocking of Ishmael, and of the casting out of him and his mother from Abraham's house, at the request of Sarah, which, though grievous to Abraham, he complied with at the direction of God, Ge 21:9-13; of the provision Abraham made for their departure, and of the supply they met with in the wilderness from God, where Ishmael was brought up, and where he married, Ge 21:14-21; and of a covenant between Abraham and Abimelech, king of Gerar, Ge 21:22-32; and of Abraham's planting a grove, and calling on the name of the Lord, Ge 21:33; and the chapter is closed with this observation, that Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days, Ge 21:34.
