Genesis 21:31

Therefore, the place is called Beer-Sheva because they both made an oath (gave each other promises).
[Hebr. beer means source and sheva means seven and oath or promise. To swear an oath can also be literally expressed as "to swear oneself." The number seven is associated with completion, perfection, and satisfaction. It also refers to perfection, abundance, and overflow. The word also implies that all this is done with joy, that is, something positive.]
