Genesis 21:28 In-Context

26 But Abimelech said, "I don't know who has done this. You didn't tell me. Today is the first time I heard about it."

27 So Abraham gave Abimelech sheep and cattle. The two men made a peace treaty.

28 Then Abraham took out seven female lambs from his flock.

29 Abimelech asked Abraham, "What's the meaning of these seven female lambs? Why have you taken them out and put them by themselves?"

30 Abraham replied, "Accept the seven lambs from me. They will be a witness that I dug this well."
