28 Abraham mit à part sept jeunes brebis.

29 Et Abimélec dit à Abraham: Qu’est-ce que ces sept jeunes brebis, que tu as mises à part?

30 Il répondit: Tu accepteras de ma main ces sept brebis, afin que cela me serve de témoignage que j’ai creusé ce puits.

31 C’est pourquoi on appelle ce lieu Beer-Schéba; car c’est là qu’ils jurèrent l’un et l’autre.
