Genesis 26:33 meaning and explanation
So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.
Genesis 26:33, Berean Standard Bible

He names it Shibah, a Hebrew word sounding like both “oath” and “seven,” which fits the oath just sworn between Isaac and Abimelech and the seven ewe lambs of the earlier Abraham story.
