"Abimelech said to him, “What purpose have these seven female lambs, which you have caused to stand separately?” "
— Genesis 21:29, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?”
“And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? ”
“Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?"”
“Abimelech asked Abraham,“What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs that you have set apart?””
“And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewelambs which thou hast set apart?”
“Then Abimelech said, What are these seven lambs which you have put on one side?”
“And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?”
And Abimelech responded, “I do not know who did this thing, but you also did not reveal it to me, nor have I heard of it, before today.”
And so Abraham took sheep and oxen, and he gave them to Abimelech. And both of them struck a pact.
And Abraham set aside seven female lambs from the flock.
Abimelech said to him, “What purpose have these seven female lambs, which you have caused to stand separately?”
But he said, “You will receive seven female lambs from my hand, so that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well.”
For this reason, that place was called Beersheba, because there both of them did swear.
And they initiated a pact on behalf of the well of oath.
