OET (OET-RV) So that’s why the place was named ‘Beersheba’ (which means ‘Well of the seven’ or ‘Well of the oath’), because that’s where the two of them made their agreement.
עַל כֵּ֗ן
on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so
Alternate translation: “That is why” or “So”
קָרָ֛א לַמָּק֥וֹם הַה֖וּא
he/it_called to_the,place (the)=that
The phrase he called often means that people in general gave a city or other place a certain name. Here it could be that Abraham named the place Beersheba, and then later other people called it the same name, and it became well known by that name. See how you translated this phrase in Gen 19:22. Alternate translation: “Abraham called that place” or “they call that place” or “that place was called”
בְּאֵ֣ר שָׁ֑בַע
בְּאֵר שָׁבַע
Be consistent here with how you spelled Beersheba in verse 14. Also, if you include the meaning of the name in your translation or in a footnote, make sure that the way you translate “vow” or oath here matches the way you translate oath later in this verse. Alternate translation: “Well of the Oath,”
כִּ֛י שָׁ֥ם
that/for/because/then/when there
Alternate translation: “because it was there that” or “because that is where”
שְׁנֵיהֶֽם
two,them
See how you translated this phrase in verse 27. Alternate translation: “he and Abimelech both”
נִשְׁבְּע֖וּ
swore_an_oath
See how you translated “swear” in verses 23-24. Alternate translation: “made a vow to each other.” or “solemnly promised each other to live in peace.”
21:22-34 This passage, at its climax, explains the name of Beersheba, Abraham’s home (21:31-34). Beersheba reflected the covenant Abraham made with the residents of the land, which enabled him to dwell there in peace and prosperity. God’s promise was coming to fruition (12:7; 13:14-17; 15:7, 18-21; 17:8).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
