Genesis 14:17-24
17AfterH310 Abram returnedH7725 from defeatingH5221 ChedorlaomerH3540 and the kingsH4428 allied with himH834H854, the kingH4428 of SodomH5467 went outH3318 to meet himH7122 inH413 the ValleyH6010 of ShavehH7740 (that isH1931, the King’sH4428 ValleyH6010).
18Then MelchizedekH4442 kingH4428 of SalemH8004 brought outH3318 breadH3899 and wineH3196—since heH1931 was priestH3548 of GodH410 Most HighH59451— 19and he blessedH1288 Abram and saidH559:
Then Abram gaveH5414 Melchizedek a tenthH4643 of everythingH3605.
21The kingH4428 of SodomH5467 saidH559 toH413 AbramH87, “GiveH5414 me the peopleH5315, but takeH3947 the goodsH7399 for yourself.”
22But AbramH87 repliedH559 toH413 the kingH4428 of SodomH5467, “I have raisedH7311 my handH3027 toH413 the LORDH3068 GodH410 Most HighH5945, CreatorH7069 of heavenH8064 and earthH776, 23thatH518 I will notH518 acceptH3947 evenH5704 a threadH2339, or a strapH8288 of a sandalH5275, or anythingH3605 thatH834 belongs to you, lestH3808 you should sayH559, ‘I have madeH589 AbramH87 richH6238.’ 24I will accept nothingH1107 butH7535 whatH834 my menH5288 have eatenH398 and the shareH2506 for the menH582 whoH834 wentH1980 with meH854—AnerH6063, EshcolH812, and MamreH4471. TheyH1992 may takeH3947 their portionH2506.”
