30Isaac then made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

31Early the next morning the men swore an oath to each other. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they went away peacefully. 32That day Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. They said, “We’ve found water!”

33He called it Shibah, Shibah can mean oath or seven. and to this day the name of the town has been Beersheba. Beersheba can mean well of the oath and well of seven.
