This passage is illustrated with seven sheep and a well for each sheep. Sheva means ‘seven’ and it means ‘oath’, this passage is the connection between those two meanings of the word. The sheep are the sacrifice to seal the oath and the well is the proof that the land can be used by Avraham and his descendants.
