21:20 God was with the boy as he grew. He lived in the wilderness and became an archer. 21:21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran. ¹  His mother found a wife for him from the land of Egypt. ² 

21:22 At that time Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, said to Abraham, “God is with you ³  in all that you do. 21:23 Now swear to me right here in God’s name ⁴  that you will not deceive me, my children, or my descendants. ⁵  Show me, and the land ⁶  where you are staying, ⁷  the same loyalty ⁸  that I have shown you.” ⁹ 

21:24 Abraham said, “I swear to do this.” ¹⁰  21:25 But Abraham lodged a complaint ¹¹  against Abimelech concerning a well ¹²  that Abimelech’s servants had seized. ¹³  21:26 “I do not know who has done this thing,” Abimelech replied. “Moreover, ¹⁴  you did not tell me. I did not hear about it until today.”

21:27 Abraham took some sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech. The two of them made a treaty. ¹⁵  21:28 Then Abraham set seven ewe lambs apart from the flock by themselves. 21:29 Abimelech asked Abraham, “What is the meaning of these ¹⁶  seven ewe lambs that you have set apart?”

22:19 Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set out together ⁸  for Beer Sheba where Abraham stayed. ⁹ 

22:20 After these things Abraham was told, “Milcah ¹⁰  also has borne children to your brother Nahor – 22:21 Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram), ¹¹  22:22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.” 22:23 (Now ¹²  Bethuel became the father of Rebekah.) These were the eight sons Milcah bore to Abraham’s brother Nahor.
