{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.14", "ref": "Genesis 21:14", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 176194.40566909034 }

{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.16", "ref": "Genesis 21:16", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 48337.121564493704 }

{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.17", "ref": "Genesis 21:17", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 159729.10103687897 }

{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.19", "ref": "Genesis 21:19", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 48440.81032510485 }

{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.20", "ref": "Genesis 21:20", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 31110.266080671245 }

{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.21", "ref": "Genesis 21:21", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 26740.30396500487 }
At that time Abimelech and Phicol, chief of his troops, said to Abraham, "God is with you in everything that you do.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.22", "ref": "Genesis 21:22", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 96408.757546102 }
Therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my kith and kin, but will deal with me and with the land in which you have sojourned as loyally as I have dealt with you."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.23", "ref": "Genesis 21:23", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 28546.41135202884 }
And Abraham said, "I swear it."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.24", "ref": "Genesis 21:24", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 19998.004663011907 }
Then Abraham reproached Abimelech for the well of water which the servants of Abimelech had seized.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.25", "ref": "Genesis 21:25", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 31020.731324645345 }
But Abimelech said, "I do not know who did this; you did not tell me, nor have I heard of it until today."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.26", "ref": "Genesis 21:26", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 21029.759701771014 }
Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a pact.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.27", "ref": "Genesis 21:27", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 21334.63650990221 }
Abraham then set seven ewes of the flock by themselves,
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.28", "ref": "Genesis 21:28", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 24046.70219868889 }
and Abimelech said to Abraham, "What mean these seven ewes which you have set apart?"
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.29", "ref": "Genesis 21:29", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 18264.719902915076 }
He replied, "You are to accept these seven ewes from me as proof that I dug this well."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.30", "ref": "Genesis 21:30", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 22197.017876308 }
Hence that place was called Beer-sheba, * Beer-sheba I.e., "well of seven" or "well of oath." for there the two of them swore an oath.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.31", "ref": "Genesis 21:31", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 20695.718478709496 }
When they had concluded the pact at Beer-sheba, Abimelech and Phicol, chief of his troops, departed and returned to the land of the Philistines.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.32", "ref": "Genesis 21:32", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 21885.455121608342 }
[Abraham] planted a tamarisk at Beer-sheba, and invoked there the name of יהוה, the Everlasting God.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.33", "ref": "Genesis 21:33", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 58973.01014066634 }
And Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines a long time.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.21.34", "ref": "Genesis 21:34", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 22407.498866326147 }
Some time afterward, God put Abraham to the test, saying to him, "Abraham." He answered, "Here I am."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.22.1", "ref": "Genesis 22:1", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 3750683.6479518167 }
"Take your son, your favored one, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the heights that I will point out to you."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.22.2", "ref": "Genesis 22:2", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 512082.644717812 }
So early next morning, Abraham saddled his ass and took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and he set out for the place of which God had told him.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.22.3", "ref": "Genesis 22:3", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 330008.50188694836 }
On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place from afar.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.22.4", "ref": "Genesis 22:4", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 198608.4289129256 }
Then Abraham said to his servants, "You stay here with the ass. The boy and I will go up there; we will worship and we will return to you."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.22.5", "ref": "Genesis 22:5", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 161364.1477776445 }

Then Isaac said to his father Abraham, "Father!" And he answered, "Yes, my son." And he said, "Here are the firestone and the wood; but where is the sheep for the burnt offering?"
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.22.7", "ref": "Genesis 22:7", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 201805.49029890262 }
