Genesis 21:31

Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.

Wherefore he called {H7121} that place {H4725} Beersheba {H884}; because there they sware {H7650} both of them {H8147}.

This is why that place was called Be'er-Sheva [well of seven, well of an oath] - because they both swore an oath there.

So that place was called Beersheba, because it was there that the two of them swore an oath.

Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.
