Abraham went back to his young men, and they got up and went together to Beer-sheba. And Abraham settled in Beer-sheba.

Early in the morning Abraham got up, took bread and a waterskin, put them on Hagar’s shoulders, and sent her and the boy away. She left and wandered in the Wilderness of Beer-sheba.

Therefore that place was called Beer-sheba because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.

After they had made a covenant at Beer-sheba, Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, left and returned to the land of the Philistines.

Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and there he called on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God.

Now Isaac was returning from Beer-lahai-roi, for he was living in the Negev region.

After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.

From there he went up to Beer-sheba,

He called it Sheba. Therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day.

Jacob left Beer-sheba and went toward Haran.

Israel set out with all that he had and came to Beer-sheba, and he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

Jacob left Beer-sheba. The sons of Israel took their father Jacob in the wagons Pharaoh had sent to carry him, along with their children and their wives.
