Genesis 21:29

New Living Translation

Abimelech asked, “Why have you set these seven apart from the others?”

See the chapter Copy

But Abraham also took seven additional female lambs and set them off by themselves.

Abraham replied, “Please accept these seven lambs to show your agreement that I dug this well.”

“And what were all the flocks and herds I met as I came?” Esau asked. Jacob replied, “They are a gift, my lord, to ensure your friendship.”

Then your children will ask, ‘What does this ceremony mean?’

“Then what is all the bleating of sheep and goats and the lowing of cattle I hear?” Samuel demanded.
