Gen 21:23 [Samaritan Pentateuch]

ועתה השבע לי באלהים הנה אם תשקר לי ולניני ולנגדי וכחסד אשר עשיתי עמך תעשה עמדי ועם הארץ אשר גרת בה

Gen 21:23 [Masoretic Text]

וְעַתָּ֗ה הִשָּׁ֨בְעָה לִּ֤י בֵֽאלֹהִים֙ הֵ֔נָּה אִם־תִּשְׁקֹ֣ר לִ֔י וּלְנִינִ֖י וּלְנֶכְדִּ֑י כַּחֶ֜סֶד אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂ֤יתִי עִמְּךָ֙ תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה עִמָּדִ֔י וְעִם־הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־גַּ֥רְתָּה בָּֽהּ׃

Now therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my offspring, nor with my descendants, but according to the kindness that I have shown to you, you shall do to me and to the land in which you have sojourned.”
