Revised Version 1895

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the daysH3117 of AmraphelH569 kingH4428 of ShinarH8152, AriochH746 kingH4428 of EllasarH495, ChedorlaomerH3540 kingH4428 of ElamH5867, and TidalH8413 kingH4428 of GoiimH1471, 2that they madeH6213 warH4421 with BeraH1298 kingH4428 of SodomH5467, and with BirshaH1306 kingH4428 of GomorrahH6017, ShinabH8134 kingH4428 of AdmahH126, and ShemeberH8038 kingH4428 of ZeboiimH6636, and the kingH4428 of BelaH1106 (the sameH1931 is ZoarH6820). 3AllH3605 theseH428 joinedH2266 togetherH2266 in the vale of SiddimH7708 (the sameH1931 is the SaltH4417 SeaH3220). 4TwelveH6240 yearsH8141 they servedH5647 ChedorlaomerH3540, and in the thirteenth yearH8141 they rebelledH4775. 5And in the fourteenth yearH8141 cameH935 ChedorlaomerH3540, and the kingsH4428 that were with him, and smoteH5221 the RephaimH7497 in Ashteroth-karnaimH6255, and the ZuzimH2104 in HamH1990, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim, 6and the HoritesH2752 in their mountH2022 SeirH8165, unto El-paranH364, whichH834 is by the wildernessH4057. 7And they returnedH7725, and cameH935 to En-mishpatH5880 (the sameH1931 is KadeshH6946), and smoteH5221 allH3605 the countryH7704 of the AmalekitesH6003, and also the AmoritesH567, that dweltH3427 in Hazazon-tamarH2688. 8And there wentH3318 outH3318 the kingH4428 of SodomH5467, and the kingH4428 of GomorrahH6017, and the kingH4428 of AdmahH126, and the kingH4428 of ZeboiimH6636, and the kingH4428 of BelaH1106 (the sameH1931 is ZoarH6820); and they setH3318 the battleH4421 in arrayH4421 againstH854 them in the vale of SiddimH7708; 9againstH854 ChedorlaomerH3540 kingH4428 of ElamH5867, and TidalH8413 kingH4428 of GoiimH1471, and AmraphelH569 kingH4428 of ShinarH8152, and AriochH746 kingH4428 of EllasarH495; fourH702 kingsH4428 againstH854 the fiveH2568. 10NowH7604 the vale of SiddimH7708 was full of slime pitsH875; and the kingsH4428 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 fledH5127, and they fellH5307 there, and they that remainedH7604 fledH5127 to the mountainH2022. 11And they tookH3947 allH3605 the goodsH7399 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, and allH3605 their victuals, and went their wayH3605. 12And they tookH3947 LotH3876, Abram’sH87 brother’sH251 sonH1121, who dweltH3427 in SodomH5467, and his goodsH7399, and departed. 13And there cameH935 one that had escaped, and toldH5046 AbramH87 the HebrewH5680: nowH935 he dweltH7931 by the oaksH436 of MamreH4471 the AmoriteH567, brotherH251 of EshcolH812, and brotherH251 of AnerH6063; and theseH1992 were confederate with AbramH87. 14And when AbramH87 heardH8085 that his brotherH251 was takenH7617 captiveH7617, he ledH7617 forthH8085 his trainedH2593 menH2593, bornH3211 in his houseH1004, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and eighteenH6240, and pursuedH7291 as farH5704 as DanH1835. 15And he dividedH2505 himselfH1931 againstH5921 them by nightH3915, he and his servantsH5650, and smoteH5221 them, and pursuedH7291 them unto HobahH2327, whichH834 is on the leftH8040 handH8040 of DamascusH1834. 16And he broughtH7725 backH7725 allH3605 the goodsH7399, and also broughtH7725 againH7725 his brotherH251 LotH3876, and his goodsH7399, and the womenH802 also, and the peopleH5971. 17And the kingH4428 of SodomH5467 wentH3318 outH3318 to meetH7125 him, afterH310 his returnH7725 from the slaughterH5221 of ChedorlaomerH3540 and the kingsH4428 that were with him, at the vale of ShavehH7740 (the sameH1931 is the King’sH4428 Vale). 18And MelchizedekH4442 kingH4428 of SalemH8004 broughtH3318 forthH3318 breadH3899 and wineH3196: and he was priestH3548 of GodH410 MostH4428 High. 19And he blessedH1288 him, and saidH559, BlessedH1288 be AbramH87 of GodH410 Most High, possessorH7069 of heavenH8064 and earthH776: 20and blessedH1288 be GodH410 Most High, whichH834 hath deliveredH5414 thine enemies intoH3027 thy handH3027. And he gaveH5414 him a tenthH4643 of allH3605. 21And the kingH4428 of SodomH5467 saidH559 unto AbramH87, GiveH5414 meH413 the personsH5315, and takeH3947 the goodsH7399 to thyself. 22And AbramH87 saidH559 to the kingH4428 of SodomH5467, I have liftH7311 upH7311 mine handH3027 unto the LORDH3068, GodH410 MostH4428 HighH7311, possessorH7069 of heavenH8064 and earthH776, 23that I will notH3808 takeH3947 a threadH2339 norH3808 a shoelatchet norH3808 aught that is thine, lest thou shouldest sayH559, I have madeH6238 AbramH87 richH6238: 24save onlyH7535 that whichH834 the youngH5288 menH376 have eatenH398, and the portionH2506 of the menH376 whichH834 wentH1980 with meH3947; AnerH6063, EshcolH812, and MamreH4471, letH1980 them takeH3947 their portionH2506.
